Join Bloody Elbow tonight (Saturday, September 28th) for live round by round coverage and updates for the IBF/WBC welterweight championship unification bout between reigning IBF titleholder Errol Spence Jr (25-0, 21 KOs) and WBC champion Shawn Porter (30-2-1, 17 KOs). The winner will have two of the four major titles at 147 lbs, with Manny Pacquiao (WBA) and Terence Crawford (WBO) possessing the other half. While I’m sure many want to see Spence against Crawford next, don’t be surprised if we end up seeing Pacquiao against the Spence-Porter winner in 2020.
There has been plenty of promotional push for both men, and the Staples Center in Los Angeles should have a great atmosphere.
