Purdy was not competitive against Bundu in the slightest, let us stop this myth right now, Bundu beat him up comprehensively and stopped him I don't think people thought much of Carlos Takam when he got outboxed by Gregory Tony either. Bundu IS a top fighter and unlike Takam he actually hasn't been beaten in a long time. Bundu can ****ing fight So can Thurman Good fight
He won a SD :huh Al Haymon signed Bundu for one reason and it was to pair him with Thurman. Bundu will definately give Thurman rounds and he will come it win. He knows his way around the ring, comes in top physical condition and will fight in the pocket and make Thurman work for 3 mins a round. Not sure if Thurman has been in with someone like Bundu before and this will be a real acid test. If Thurman can take Bundu out, although the fickle American probs wont see much into this Haymon and Thurman will both know that if they can do this to Bundu, it will put them in good stead for the rest of the division. Bundu is legit.
Indeed he is, those calling "Eurobum" have obviously never seen him fight, which is a shame cus for a so called non puncher he's damn entertaining
Oh and don't bother worrying aout the age, Bundu can go for days, he's actually quite the phenomenon athletically speaking
He is quite an inigma. I liked the way he dealt with such a technically gifted boxer like Gavin, neglecting he strenghts and trying to make Gavin fight his fight, in which he did to his detriment. It would be funny if a 40 year old (he will be come fight night) can take out a hard hitting pup in Thurman.
A guy that Berto stopped while headbutted him to get the cuts done when Berto just started to gas out...Zaveck had a bad night against Thurman..not that he would won but would be much more competative fight. Bundu is a good opponent for Keith. He should for sure test him good...probaby better then anyone before now.. :good
It's a decent match-up. Bundu is being massively underrated by the Americans here. I do favor Thurman to win, but all this 'eurobum' stuff is sheer nonsense
Boxing fans in Italy don't give Bundu much chance. Actually, the popular opinion is that he sold himself to Al Haymon.
How dare he get involved with a manager that can get him high prestige, big money fights. How dare he!??!
You are missing the point. He won't beat Thurman unless he knocks him out, there's most likely no way he's getting the decision. Another thing is that he was supposed to fight Dan Ion to become the mandatory challenger for Kell Brook. I don't know how much money will he earn for the Thurman fight (probably not that much), but there surely won't be any more "big money" fights for him after this.
He would've been better beating Jojo Dan and getting a big Brook fight for £ coins. He would probably have gone 12 too instead of being KO'd by Thurman for weaker currency at the age of almost 40 years old. As an aside, why do you continuously defend Al Haymon and all these guys STB? You're from Britain/Ireland with the agenda of a Karceno/Dontae, odd af.
Because I've yet to see what peoples problem with a friggin manager is. I don't like being lazy and just going along with the crowd. He makes his fighters money, which, last I checked, was his job. His fighters(who are from every corner of the planet), seem happy with him. A lot of those fighters are top quality fighters, who any boxing fan should be a fan of. Im not sure what being Irish has to do with this. Happy? I also dont know who Karceno/Dontae are.
