    I reckon Errol 'Dude Wipes' Spence wins this by shutout UD -- although I don't see a late TKO-type stoppage for Spence being entirely out of the question, either.

    I'd love to see it. That would all but guarantee Lenny at the very least a big payday on which to ride off into the sunset, not to mention one more shot at nabbing a world title (Brook is a big ask, but not impossible for him) - and it really wouldn't hurt Spence's career all that much. He's still only 26. He would still be in the world title picture for several years, and probably just a couple of high-profile TV wins away from rebounding after the loss and getting back in the hunt.

    Yeah it would be awesome, but I have a hard time seeing Bundu winning this, too much pressure, too much volume, but I think he'll see the final bell. And of course we can expect the majority of the site to go into a tizzy about how overrated Spence's power has been up until now because he couldn't stop a guy that no one, not even Thurman could stop. Meanwhile all along I've been saying Spence's power is overrated.:lol:

    With his 33% KO ratio though? Not gonna happen. They are feeding feather fists (Bundu, Algieri, van Heerden etc) to Spence for a reason.

    Oh they all duck him? Damn. Then Spence must move up right? At least you demand the same from Golovkin I guess for the same reason...

    Spence is 26, Golovkin is 34. See the difference? If Spence was 34 I'd be telling him to go up to 154 too, especially if he was making claims about fighting anyone from 140-154.

    There is an another difference: Spence is a big welterweight while Golovkin is an average sized MW. If Spence moved up to 154 he would still fight guys his size... But it is alright I am not telling him to move up but it would be nice to see him against a boxer who packs a punch.

    Spence is also in one of the best divisions in boxing, unlike GGG who is in a godawful one. Spence is fighting BUndu so he can secure his mandatory shot against Brook/Vargas winner. It's hilarious how you little g fan whine and scream about how titles are so important, even when you're 34 and have fought no one, but when a 26 year old kid wants to win hsi first title you say " But it is alright I am not telling him to move up but it would be nice to see him against a boxer who packs a punch.", knowing that he's being ducked, and is doing everything in his power to secure that first title.
