    Fundora might actually turn out to be the better matchup. Well see. But this isn't PPV worthy.

    War Fundora. He is obviously the underdog but I think he has a genuine chance.

    I agree with this. Style wise Fundora will make this a more exciting match up against Tszyu. But still not enough to make this a PPV fight.

    This is a much better fight. Before Fundora's first defeat, many people thought he can beat Tszyu.

    Nobody gave Thurman much of a chance.

    I think Tszyu has his hands full. He didn't train for Fundora and Fundora has the style to give Tszyu a bit of trouble.

    Keith knows he didn't have the smoke in him for this 1. Smart move.

    I feel like this is the PBC way. How many big events have they had last minute changes. Strategic bull**** on their behalf

    I doubt Thurman would intentionally go along with something like this.
    Usually in boxing, cards are either postponed or the main even is cancelled. PBC goes ahead with what they have, so it seems out of place.

    And in my opinion they might be doing it to keep the dates they have. PBC is clearly struggling to keep their roster active and I doubt they could afford to give up this PPV slot. Nor do I believe they are in a position to even downgrade this to anything other than a PPV.

    Well, that's fun. Shame Fundora was brutally knocked out in his last fight.

    Inactivity leaves you more injury prone. This guy is finished.
