    Obviously we all saw the fight earlier, and Fundora is now using all 80 inches of his reach, along with backing guys up while doing so.

    How is Duran gonna deal with this? He’s not only at a hideous reach disadvantage, but also weight as well, how is Duran gonna deal with a 6’4 80inch reach fighter who uses his reach well, and also backs you up while doing so? What’s Duran gonna do on the backfoot against that?

    If it was against the Fundora from a few fights ago, Duran would have plenty of opportunities, and I’d pick him handily, especially with how open Fundora was, but now Fundora doesn’t take loads of risks and actually uses his reach, that changes things massively, as it no longer presents Duran with opportunities to use his best skillset, which is inside fighting, he now has to close distance to do so, and he’s gonna struggle to do that if he can’t back Fundora up much, because Fundora isn’t gonna willingly go on the inside anymore after his improvements.

    Who wins this matchup?

    Good Lord, Duran repeatedly closes the distance with feints, blasts Seb with rights and ends Fundora's career, a la Davey Moore.

    He’s gonna have some issues trying to reach high enough to gouge Fundora’s eyes out with those thumbs like he did Davey’s.

    Duran will have to gouge his ankles instead

    Not as tall as Fundora. But still over 6 ft and physically much bigger. Duran busts the lanky beanpoll up and stops him in mid-late rds.

    Fundora has incredible dimensions but seems like skin stretched over a skeleton!, and likes a scrap too much. Duran is an ATG and up close is his territory. Once inside i think he is stronger and will work the body while trapping Seb's arms. Cant see Fundora lasting too long against a smart and cruel opponent like Duran.

    Fair enough but Fundora is almost half a foot taller than Barkley just to illustrate how ****ing tall he is.

    A 14 inch reach is nothing to sneeze at.

    The height gap is too big for Duran, especially now that Fundora has settled into his style.
