Fundora is going to be fun while he lasts, hopefully he can do some big things soon. He is one of my favourite fighters and has been for a while. I think he needs to go to 160 or even 168 asap though. Can't see how its healthy to take those shots with that lean frame. He will still have all of his advantages at those weights, probably even more strength too. Don't stay at 154 just to bully smaller guys,
Yes, because they think it’s unfair for someone to be born with a natural advantage right? You made the rest of the argument for me. This natural freak doesn’t even need skills to bash fighters like Lubin. Then keep in mind there hasn’t been a trans woman at that level and that physically superior to the competition as Fundora is. I don’t complain about any of it, I understand that sport isn’t meant to be fair. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of people cheering for someone just because they were born differently, not because of their level of skills. Combat sport fans seem to be the worst when it comes to complaining about trans people in sport so it’s worth pointing that out.
Exactly. People conflate a trans woman who has been taking hormones for a required period of time and has been tested, with a man fighting a woman. That’s nonsense, as you say they are the same gender and the same weight so what else could you ask for? Oh but they were born a male so something something about their bones giving them an advantage. Being 6’6 in the 154 division, that’s fine and a fair fight though.
Who tf cares if someone is born with a natural advantage? I'd get beaten the **** up by Beterbiev if I stepped in the ring with him(we're about the same size) no matter how hard I trained or what drugs I took because Beterbiev has a **** ton of natural advantages over me. We have men's and women's sport because male puberty offers huge advantages in all sports. Getting your testosterone levels down doesn't change any of that. So what's your argument here? Sports is about men with better physical advantages beating men with worse physical advantages, so we should let men beat up on women as well? Incredible argument
His punches look slow but that's because his wingspan is so huge that it takes a couple seconds to wind up and throw a punch. But in between those punches he is very vulnerable to a counter and Lubin proved not only can he be touched but also hurt. Charlo is no SRR but he is good enough to beat this freak of nature.
Jermell is a very bad matchup for Fundora (who blocks with his head and body). The best way to stimie a Charlo is to box and move laterally, that is not going to happen here. You won't beat a Charlo blocking with your face, and thus far both Charlo's appear to be tanks that can survive dust ups. There's actually a few guys that I'd tap to beat Fundora.
This is the natural fight to make - Fundora vs Charlo is enticing. Fundora will take one more fight probably against Tony Harrison and then goes for Jermell (being that Jermell won't fight for like 9-12months after Castano) This is gonna be HOT
