The timing worked out perfectly. The ref waved it off just as the first bell for Haye vs. Chisora to start. :yep :happy Anyway, it isn't surprising that this received even less than the very little attention it would have normally received considering what it butted up against. in case anyone cared and didn't notice it before.
I watched this side by side with Delboy-Haye. Big fan of Bundu, Very underrated up and comer, He has legit power, but his best thing is his slickness and savvy, Shame how much hype Kell Brook/Mike Jones get/got yet a very good fighter like Bundu can't get one post in a freaking RBR. Anyways yea I was happy this ended in time for Haye fight, That was one of my concerns fight day today.
Today Bundu went in full seek-and-destroy mode and looked more like a brawler than anything. :think That kind of surprised me. You?
