    Good.

    It would have been a great story had Spence managed to recapture his form, but after the beating he took off Crawford I don't think anyone wanted to see him against Fundora.

    I don't remember a single person on this site advocating for him.

    This is very stupid on PBC's part. Couldn't they just put Spence in with a journeyman before trying to make him vs Fundora?

    In Japan, if they see a person bouncing their leg, they say "Binbo Yusuri," which means, loosely translated, "poor people shaking." So, when they see people bouncing their leg, burning energy unnecessarily, in mundane conditions of life, as poor people used to shake in the cold, they consider it chaotic, impolite, and simply wrong and a mockery of the poor, who must shake, as a cold response. I guess, what I am trying to say, ultimately, is that the WBO are right, even if they're bad people and hypocrites who are very likely in the occult practice of hex bags or mojo gris-gris bags or whichever and that sort of thing.

    What I mean to say is that Fundora is neither fun nor a Dora, and doesn't explore anything, really. He should not be shaking his leg for no reason. There are things he needs to do and no hex bag is going to help him until he does. And Spence needs to shake a leg to just stay warm until he shows he's at the level he needs to be to even have fun and explore in a mindful, demure, health-conscious way. That is what he's been missing. We're all like Japanese people who are too impolite to stop our legs from shaking in the warmth of the indoors, with our more polite and stern elders angry at us for our ways. We all need to clean our own rooms, get our own houses in order, shake what God gave us, make those dollars, put some hustle behind our collective muscle. Be kind to each other...and ourselves. That's my final thought.

    Spence needs to fight a soft touch first. It's stupid of him to go straight to another world title shot after losing badly to Crawford. Fundora should fight Murtazaliev or Vergil Ortiz Jr next.

    He needs to run it back with Crawford, then fight Ennis and top it off with a big money catch weight fight against Beterbiev. I believe in him.

    I agree, he's definitely not at the top of his game anymore.

    He already took one, which is why his career has now ended.

    spence was hanging out with broner and tank. Soo his face was out there in public and on social media more than Crawford. Crawford didn’t get popular until he gave Spence the whooping of a lifetime, now everyone is on his sack and calling for Canelo to fight him which is ridiculous because Canelo is 3 weight divisions above him.
