Agreed on there is a risk, however, I reckon this is very low risk for Errol Spence. It is also headshaking that everyone is creating storylines of doubt about Spence. Who was the only boxer who has won against him in his whole career? This is Bud Crawford who is presently the pound for pound best boxer in the world and everyone is speculating that this fight vs. Fundora might be very risky? This is a tune up fight for the former other king of welterweight.
Whenever a fighter takes the kind of beating that Spence did, they are never quite the same. This is on top of being badly injured in a car accident and having serious eye problems. Also, he is only fighting once every 12+ months. This level of inactivity could be detrimental. Fundora might be a weak champion, but Spence is far from being in his best form. It is always a challenge for Fundora’s opponents figuring out how to deal with his height. Even if he is easy to hit, you will have a hard time avoiding his counters, which may include elbows as we saw against Tim Tszyu.
And you also have to take into consideration his age and then the wear and tear, plus there could be a mental issues since him and Derrick James separated in a bad note and James files a lawsuit on him. So that's a lot of Spence right now that's why I'm surprised that he accepted this fight right away and think that he can beat a hard nose champion like Sebastian Fundora. And that's one of Fundora's strength is that he is very tall and his opponents on average height will have to figure him out on how to throw against a boxer that is that tall. Not sure when they can fight a sparring partner with that kind of height fighting at 140 lbs.
