he looked great vs ugas and garcia and that was after the car crash
amazing how he became this poor soul only after getting the beating he ran from for many years
bud crawford is the reason spence is damaged goods

facts.

What a tragedy. Fundora has been waiting for nothing after all. And he had to wait instead of looking for someone to stay active. All that waiting is a complete utter waste of time in a sport where longevity doesn't last.

Funny part was just weeks ago Crawford and Spencer were fighting over Fundora. Only to be snubbed when the fight is ordered. It's all fake. Crawford in particular would have gotten over the fight and still have all the time in the world for Canelo if he fought Fundora by the end of last year.

Fundora deserves no sympathy. Fundora is a PBC sucker.

No sympathy at all. I blame him and his crew for waiting for nothing, wasting his prime just like other PBC fighters. Waiting, waiting, waiting, that's all they do majority of their time.

I am not big on zayas who has been feasting on bums. But if you think he would beat Fundora why hasn't he pushed for a legit title fight ? That have been grooming that boy for 4 years now and still no title shot lol. He should be ready in 2025 right?

You’re weird. Grooming for 4 years? He’s 22. He’ll be fighting for a title soon he’s not some goofy 28 year old prospect like bootsy ennis lol

Why did he have to wait for Spence I’m confused? Why would he do that? No one wanted to see that fight, Spence hasn’t fought in years and coming off a devastating loss, has no trainer and hasn’t trained in years. Why would fundora even entertain such nonsense when there’s been several fights he could’ve taken. You brought up bud and the WBO. The same WBO that he wasn’t gonna defend against Spence anyways? Now he’s fighting some scrub instead. He’s holding the belts hostage refusing to fight anyone. I like fundora, always have, but I hope they feed him to bek or Ortiz jr next I wanna see him get destroyed and those 2 will do a number on the towering bumferno

Here's the timeline.

Bud petitioned for and got a WBO title shot, and got his fight with Madrimov turned into an interim title bout. That meant Bud had the right, through the WBO, to a title shot, and if Fundora fought someone else, he'd lose his WBO belt to Crawford without even a fight. Right now, as Crawford is subsidized by Turki, that's a comparatively big money fight. So he was forced to wait for Bud while Bud was playing stup1d waiting games with his Canelo fetish.

Once the WBO got sick of Bud's delaying, he became eligible to take a voluntary fight, and Spence had gotten in the ring after Fundora beat Tszyu and challenged him. Since Spence is one of the biggest names known to casuals and fans, being a former P4P stalwart, he's a bigger money opponent for Fundora than anyone else in the division, and is a relatively soft touch coming off his devastating loss. Plus, he's a PBC darling, and the higher ups at PBC thought they could use him to sell another PPV. Realistically, he's the only opponent besides Crawford that they have in house at PBC that could be a PPV main event for Fundora. Tim Tszyu screwed any possibility of a rematch by about the rematch to take on Murtazaliev, and then getting smashed. Murtazaliev is injured, Ortiz and Bohachuk fought in the interim and all are with rival promoters and too dangerous for PBC to risk without a belt to go along with it. So who, exactly, is the PBC fighter at 154 that's a safer and better money fight than Spence?

Fundora is having a drawn out 15 minutes of fame. You know as well as I do that he's the easiest belt holder in the division, and as a prizefighter, he's going to want to maximize the purses he can get as champion. And, for my part, I think he should. Spence would have been a good payday, and it's not his fault that Spence decided to hold him up with negotiations and backing out last minute, just as he did repeatedly with Bud. He was ready to face Bud, but Bud spent months not taking the shot he petitioned for. None of that is on Fundora.

Never mentioned when he was whipping Ugas and Garcia’s though

I originally thought the Ferrari crash had damaged Spence, but he surprised me when he beat Garcia so easily. Ugas is a bit overrated and under-powered. When he fought Crawford, Errol didn't look right at all. And, he had just been in another car crash. The man's brain is damaged, plain and simple.

Yes , courtesy of Bud Crawford

Ok so it doesn’t mean their on bad terms , he just hasn’t heard from Uncla Al
That's nothing new as I recall in the past other PBC fighters saying the same thing
awhere did you get the story that Spence went behind Uncle Al’s back to get the deal done ???
Funny cause it was promoted by PBC

The fight was always going to get promoted by pbc. Fight hype. Terrance Crawford interviews on youtube. He stated the fight only happened when he called Spence directly and not talking with his handlers.

Nobody on pbc was bigger than Spence at the time. That would be random for them to not stay in contact but ok.

ok? Canelo had first title fight at 21. What's weird with what I said ? He has had plenty of pro fights now and still hasn't stepped up his competition once until his last fight. He has over 130 amateur fights. He should be pushing for a title. Who said anything about boots ? This article never mentioned his name at all. Zays name was mentioned though and I don't think he beats Fundora and I think top rank thinks so too.

Ok so your assuming everything
From people in the business I’ve never heard anything like problems or what not
Yes I do recall the phone call but that was two men discussing are we gonna do this or not , nothing more nothing less
Then their promotional teams took over to finalize
