Why hasn't Spence notified Crawford in writing that he wants to fight at 154?

Without knowing details/and/or if that is even true, I answered that one already

Honestly I think Al haymon would personally throw Andrade off of a building if it means he could land one of the most lucrative fights in history. I'm not even sure Andrade is personally signed to PBC. And he's did them dirty enough that he really holds no weight there regardless. He's pretty much burned bridges with every promoter in the game.

If anything they might ensure him of a fight with jermall. But I think even plant would have the upper hand on him there. But if they have the chance to land canelo vs David they're not passing it up just cause it could hurt andrade's feelings. And canelo has stole andrade's fights before. Saunders and Andrade were in negotiatins when canelo was about to fight yildrim. Then canelo swooped in and took it. And they announced it right after he beat yildrim. Canelo likes fukkin over Andrade. So it wouldn't surprise.

I think the happy path scenario is
1. Canelo bests mell
2.david beats boo boo
3.canelo fights david
4. Boo boo fights mall

Damn, I really wish I could have gotten to this.

I did the interview yesterday but honestly I didn't have enough time with him to really get much done.

Kinda disappointed with it to be honest.

I think conducting a good interview with Ellerbe would have been challenging, just because he’s media trained very well to give generic answers.

The best way to get him out of character would have been to bring up Eddie Hearn.

WBA Grants Romero Injury Exemption, Must Defend By March 2024; Davies-Barroso Ordered​

BY JAKE DONOVAN
Published Thu Sep 21, 2023, 03:31 PM EDT
Rolando Romero will keep his crown.
For now.
BoxingScene.com has learned that the WBA Medical Committee has reviewed and accepted al records submitted by Las Vegas’s Romero, who will be permitted to keep his junior welterweight title. The ruling comes with two specific caveats: he must be able to defend by no later than next March 20th; and he will have to face the winner of an approved interim title fight between England’s Ohara Davies and Venezuela’s Ismael Barroso.
Davies-Barroso has been formally ordered by the WBA, Boxing Scene has additionally learned. It is widely believed that a deal will be reached, as Golden Boy Promotions—who signed Davies earlier this summer–has teased a November 18 date for the fight.
The interim title status appears to be a one-time exception granted by the WBA, who abolished all such belts in 2021 as part of its ongoing title reduction campaign. Its use is applicable here, as it avoids a scenario where Romero—who offered sufficient proof of injury as seen fit by the sanctioning body—is stripped of the belt and/or downgraded to ‘Champion In Recess.’
The ruling comes nearly four months after Romero (15-1, 13KOs) was first ordered to face Davies (25-2, 18KOs) in a mandatory title defense. The two sides never came close to reaching a deal or even making even slight progress during the assigned negotiation period.
A purse bid hearing was scheduled for June 24 before the WBA agreed to delay in light of Romero’s filed injury exemption.
Romero won the vacant WBA 140-pound title in a controversial ninth-round stoppage of Barroso (24-4-2, 22KOs) on May 15 in Las Vegas. He was due to previously challenge unbeaten titlist Alberto Puello, who was removed from the event and subsequently stripped of the title after he tested positive for the banned substance Clomiphene.
The WBA previously granted approval for Puello to face Romero in a voluntary defense, on the condition that the winner honor back-to-back mandatories. That list was cut in half when Barroso replaced Puello, leaving the Romero-Barroso winner to next face Davies, who became the mandatory after a ninth-round knockout of countryman Lewis Ritson in their March 4 title eliminator in Newcastle, England.
Romero-Davies was ordered on May 30. Talks went nowhere, which prompted the call for a purse bid. Pending the WBA’s forthcoming ruling, the matter will either be tabled or head back to a scheduled hearing, in which case the minimum acceptable bid is $110,000 to obtain promotional rights.
Barroso has not fought since the controversial defeat to Romero earlier this spring. The ruling in this matter is the closest he has come to justice being served from that night.

This dude man holding up the division man can’t believe he got that belt .

its a shame this is the only "champion" in floyd's camp

The Spence fans meltdown goes right up there with the Wilder fans meltdown after the Fury rematch or the Loma fanbase meltdown after the Teo fight.

As a Wilder fan I slightly sympathize with this lol

mike's training and sparring in his prime is more interesting to watch than most heavyweight fights of today

mike's use of calisthenic exercises to develop his power and explosiveness on top of the drills that he did was influential

Spence stans/Bud haters having to refresh this thread on the daily and see fresh new ether

Wait a minute, Vergil Ortiz quit Boxing?

It's his pride. Once Errol sends a written statement asking bud for 154, he might as well call him daddy at that point

Bud has been mind fukking Errol for years. That's another reason I knew Spence was getting knocked out. Bud had already won the mind games. And he still is.


Bud is like "Ok Errol. You want 154. Go ahead and ask your daddy for it then"



Bud on his Art of War shyt. Checkmating Errol at every turn

they tryna set up Ryan vs Rolly if you ask me. Rolly gets to cash out and Ryan stat pads his resume + sets up Devin/Teo which is a money fight at 140.
