    Thanks.

    Title is a bit misleading, though? Sounds like Spence may well fight someone else next.

    Not familiar with Ocampo, but Ponamarev is a real fighter. They were supposed to fight in an eliminator but Pony got hurt. It should be a tough first defense, not sure I favor Spence in this one.

    He will have time to fit in a defence. The mandatory was just done. His mando will be called early next year

    Title changed as it looks like the fight will be AFTER his September bout opponent TBA.

    Thanks

    I dont know anything about Ocampo but isnt Ponomarev still a kid ? I dont see how any of these two could pose problems to Spence.

    Without knowing anything about Ocampo this seems like a classic IBF mandatory.
    Maybe its legit, I dont know, Ponomarev should've fought Errol Spence for the mandatory spot against Brook, but he declined. He was always in the mix

    But if the young Russian wins I dont see him gunning for Spence right away. I think Bob will give him a couple more fights to fully develop his potential

    I think it's decent enough.

    Still wondering who the next opponent will be though.. I would really really like to see Porter vs Spence, I think Shawn has exactly the sort of style that will cause Spence problems but I don't think he will risk his mandatory position for a rematch with Keith Thurman.

    Looks like a step up from the Frankie Gavins, Dan Ion's, and Kevin Bizier's that Brook was feasting on.

    spence deserves a jo jo dan or rod salka after his destruction of brook

    but listening to spence he will probably want a top dog as soon as possible

    Yeah because coming back from a life/career threatening injury he should have jumped straight into GGG. Teehee.
