This Sunday night at 10 on allegedly

Im looking forward to this fight actually,not that i think Bundu has a chance of winning but he's a very good boxer and it'll be interesting to see how Spence Jr deals with him,Thurman couldnt get Leonard out of there and i reckon Errol can and will,hopefully Bundu will give it more effort than he did against Thurman that night,if he does it will probably prove his undoing,Spence was excellent against Algieri and i cant see 40+ year old man albeit durable and very clever and still capable Bundu having a chance against Spence Jr

Like the Algeiri fight I think this is a bout which will flatter Spence. In my view Thurman could've done a lot more damage against Bundu if he'd stopped moving so much and fought more aggressively, and considering that Spence is someone who seeks the kill and that Bundu is now a few years older, I think it's ripe grounds for another 'monster' performance from a very promising but somewhat overrated fighter.

This is another non-puncher for Spence; I'd like to see him in with a solid opponent who can punch and therefore present a greater risk when he walks in.

Frankie Gavin fancies Spence by stoppage rnds 6-8

Will be a great result for Spence if he can manage to avoid the Bundu hot sauce and score a stoppage!

Diego Chavez maybe? Wouldn't mind seeing that.

An on form Chaves would be a good opponent.

I really like what I see in Spence, but they seem to have steered him clear of decent fighters who can punch even just a bit; the guys he's facing are made for him to power through.

Has he a suspect chin? I've not seen that much of him tbh. He has a solid look about him but obviously that doesn't mean much.

He was rocked by Emmanuel Lartey (skip to 27:30) at the end of the 7th and spent much of the 8th and final round backing up, after having fought exclusively on the front foot. I wouldn't say he has a suspect chin, but I wonder if he'd bull in so freely if he wasn't facing light-hitters.

I'm still of the opinion that he's rather flat footed but he should deal with Bundu in pretty decent fashion.

Good shot. Would've been interesting if it was landed a minute earlier.

I have always thought that Spence was too stiff and rigid, he always loads up and is not hard to hit, these problems can cause him to get hit solidly as he throws, against bigger punchers, it could cost him, big time. He was calling out Thurman, "careful what you wish for".

- The Lartey fight a great match of prospects that used to be endemic, so thanks for the video.

The announcers smother the fight with their bias and competing blubbering. Give viewer more fights like this and the mute option for announcers and added volume for landed punches and ring actions, and I guarantee viewers would flock back in droves.

Spence won this on superior power and conditioning and has a good upside going. He should concentrate on his boxing against Bundu and let the ko come naturally if it comes at all. He was lucky that 7th wasn't as long as that 4min rd earlier.

I think this could be interesting, got to say I signed up for bn this year and I think it's great value for money.

Another W for Spence

Obviously

For those who didnt get the memo,this card starts at 9 now and not 10 as 1st advertised

Agree with crusader - this fight should hugely flatter Spence and is unfortunately not likely to tell us anything new. Decent ticking-over fight for him, but that's all.

Any idea what time the main event is likely to be starting mate?

There's 2 10 rounders before it mate and a floating 4 rounder

Cheers mate. Appreciate the heads up.

Brutal KO by Spence Jr,Bundu was out cold,Errol was winning everything up to that point but was content to just outbox Leonard mainly using the jab,Bundu switched stances constantly.throwing one shot then switching,throwing another shot then switching back,never really knew what he was doing,he did land on Spence though with single shots and he pressed more than he did in the Thurman fight,the ref missed a genuine KD right before the KO,Spence putting Bundu down with a lovely left uppercut but ref ruled a push,you could tell Bundu was hurt when he got up,Spence then put him to sleep with a beauty of a right hook

Onward and upwards for Spence Jr but it seems he'll be fighting for the vacant belt, knowing the IBF JoJo Dan will probably be mandatory again

He's the bollox spence Jnr IMO, interesting to see what happens now, I think he's Kells next mandotory.

Spence already looks miles better than Brook has ever looked. Brook will likely lose to Golovkin then retire rather than face Spence and lose twice in a row.

Oh yeah, and hopefully those asking whether Ronald Mackintosh is the worst commentator ever were listening to the PBC commentator tonight - now that is how to do bad commentary.

Amen to that,that guys brutal

I think he'll campaign at 154 after Golovkin beats him, not being able to make welter anymore will be his ready made excuse I reckon.

Word is spence was beating mayweather up in sparring
