WBC Orders Spence v Bradley

Not a bad step up in talent for Spence....very good fight.

 

Think it'd be an ok fight.
Just asking myself, why...

 

No way either guy takes it.Its only to be mando for the wbc,who hardly ever enforce title mandatory fights. For bradley there is no point,small money,small fight and no title. For errol there is no point in giving up your ibf mando status, the ibf are the only governing body that regularly enforce mando fights.

 

At the Bible it's reported that Amir Khan is the mandatory, but he is injured so it was motioned for Spence to meet Bradley for the mandatory. If Spence decides to go the IBF route, then Bradley becomes mandatory.

 

But isn't that what fighters want? A belt that allows them to fight whomever they want?

 

Ofcourse but how could spence take that fight not knowing when he'l get his shot? Hasn't khan been number 1 for 2 years... either way bradley wouldnt take the fight anyway. Listen to recent interview from bradley, hes after a couple more big payday big fight,spence isn't that.

 

You are right about that, And it seems Bradley wants to move up. In between his recent bouts hasn't it always been speculated that he'll fight at 154? I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the greatest scrap, but Cotto-Bradley seems a shade better than Cotto-Kirkland for a PPV.

 

I think Bradley is on the slide and his punch resistance is going big time, but even so it's a good fight and makes sense.

 

Two top WW's, one on the way up and one potentially (probably, in my opinion) on the way out... what not to like?

That said, I def do not see Bradley taking this fight anyways.

 

For some reason this feels like a jr MW vs a LWW.

 

Like a lot of WBC "orders", I'm sure it will be ignored.

 

Good fight and whilst Bradley is slipping it's a fight in which we get to really see where Spence is at.

 

Which one is the junior middle weight?

 

Spence.
