Comments Thread For: Porter: WBC Mandatory Orders Derailed Immediate Spence Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Two-time champion Shawn Porter will make the initial defense of his WBC welterweight crown against 2008 Cuban Olympic bronze medal winner Yordenis Ugas on March 9 in Las Vegas as Premier Boxing Champions and FOX return (8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT.). In September, Porter (29-1-1, 17 KOs) earned WBA counterpart Keith Thurman's injury-vacated crown by unanimous decision over Danny Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs), becoming a 147-pound world titlist for the second time by vanquishing the two-division champion at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Bs unification's triumph mandatories, this was just an easy payday for both him and spence which there is no problem, except when they both stand in the ring and say they can unify and the fight can be made next, easily.

Focus on Ugas or you may not make it to Spence if you really want Spence!!!

Spence already said he'd rather fight Garcia first then Porter.

You're right.

[Pigeons]

Hopefully there's one PBC unification between their three WW titleholders in 2019 and then another in 2020. Wouldn't be surprised if none of them fought each other in 2019 though.


Ideally we'd get Thurman-Porter II and Spence/Garcia in the summer/fall. Leave two men standing at WW for PBC in 2020.

After his mandatory challenger, Amir Imam, elected to take a stay busy fight and was knocked out.
