    He is 6/1 in the betting, is their anything about Thurman to make you feel he could lose this fight?

    Most in the usa dont know bundu and see a 40 year old euro. I think bundu is very underrated and will give account of himself but get stopped inside 8

    Would not put any money on it, only a lucky punch would see a Bundu win.

    I don't think much of thurman, talented yes but massively overhyped! He leaves himself open at times and hopefully bundu will have his moments, I reckon he lasts the distance but loses on points

    could Bundu's work rate cause Thurman problems? I haven't seen masses of either to be honest.

    Interesting fight tho - im sure a certain Mr F Gavin will be watching with interest

    It may to start with but it will also make him more likely to walk into something big

    I've always thought bundu while having a good engine, chin, and dig on the inside is a little too compact for my liking, I can see him struggling to close the gap with thurman and getting caught coming in, Gavin didn't have enough pop to keep him off him, thurman looks a bigger puncher so should have some success.

    Thurman can bang, but he doesn't react too well to being hit himself. Unfortunately, Bundu isn't a massive hitter. i think he'll probably last the distance, but see it going Thurman's way

    Bundu is tough so anything is possible. That said, Thurman seems a level above him. Thurman stops him late for me.

    I think this could be over very quickly, Bundu simply does not punch hard enough to stop Thurman walking him down.

    I like Bundu, solid fighter.. but I he doesn't have the pop to stop Thurman in his tracks.

    Style wise it's a total mismatch.

    Only a fool and their money would bet on Bundu in this fight.

    Depending on how quickly Thurman starts, he'll either KO Bundu very early inside 4 rds or if he starts slowly he'll end it by the 10th.
