To Adam Baskin:<\/strong> The April bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Keith ‘One Time’ Thurman, 154, will reportedly be sanctioned by the WBC as a mandatory defense of the welterweight title against Errol’s organization.<\/p>\n Sure, it doesn’t make much sense for the WBC to recognize Spence’s non-title bout at junior middleweight as a mandatory defense for his 147-pound belt, but it’s done.<\/p>\n The only way Adam Baskin can understand this nonsensical move by the World Boxing Council is if they sanction the Spence vs. Thurman match. at least there will be fines<\/strong> it gets involved.<\/p>\n If the WBC denies the match, it means there is no fine. i mean i have no money. What’s surprising is that the Spence vs. Thurman fight doesn’t have a title.<\/p>\n If Spence had intended to go out of his way to ask the WBC to sanction the fight against Thurman for meeting the mandatory defense of the 147-pound belt, he would have been sanctioned by the sanctioning body for a new belt for him. I had to go a step further to create and fight the old “one-time” to give the fight a pseudo-credibility. His casual boxing fans won’t know the difference.<\/p>\n If you see the fancy belts rolled out with Spence & Thurman, even though the straps have just been manufactured, they add some weight to the fight, not just for the major titles. You will understand that this is a newly created job for<\/p>\n Notably, Spence did not return to the division shortly after giving up all three of the \u00a3147 titles, the dangerous Terrence ‘Bud’ Crawford and Ennis of Jaron Boots.<\/p>\n Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) is back up to 147 and unlikely to be filleted by Boots & Crawford. Spence is not another General MacArthur who once said, “I will return.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n After 154 against Thurman, Spence will never go back to 147. Because welterweight comes with too many risks. He doesn’t want to deal with all the dangers.<\/p>\n
