Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora Comes in to Replace Injured Keith Thurman Against Tim Tszyu on March 30

Lets be honest KEEF is done and it probably would've been a horrible loss for him. He gave ten good years of great fights so he should walk off intothe sunset and let the youngins take over. Fundora is still one of my fav fighters so this is much better than Kudzoo vs KEEF. Even tho this isn't a PPV fight I'm still going to buy it. You know why? Because I recently stopped drinking and now I have tons of 'disposable income' at my hand. hahahahaha

How does Fundora from getting brutally KO'd to an immediate title fight with Tyszu? I wasn't excited for Thurman but at least there was a decent style matchup. Fundora is only competitive because of his freakish size, he sucks.

The only good thing about this fight is that Tszyu will break Fundora down and stop him.

With that same thinking, how does keith thurman get a title shot vs tim tszyu? He beat mario barrios…..TWO YEARS AGO.

It wasn't a title shot.

Agree this a better fight than keef whom quite frankly should just retire at this point only a few really wanted to watch him fight Tim tbh, maybe Fundora is not that deserving either considering his KO loss but it should be a banger while it last given his style.

Mono Ramos would've been an even better option imo

On 10 days notice how was Ramos an option?

From the comments, this is a fight most people are at least interested in. From my end, I only cared about the Thurman fight because there was gonna be a highlight reel type KO of him. Now this at least kinda feels like a fight... you know where even if one guy is heavily favored and should be, at least the other guy has been active and has a punchers chance. Sure is not a PPV, but as Amazon is just dipping their toes into the pool and have no idea how to make Boxing work, I will let it slide. Maybe even buy it to get them to support the sport going forward. I had zero chance of dropping money to watch the original event.

Good for Tim. This has more appeal. Tower is a real jr middle on the road. Tzsyu couldn't take out Mendoza at home, this might turn into a war of attrition, Tzsyu isn't that hard to find.

This PPV is 75 bucks?? Wow. OK. That is steep. I mean... really steep.

I don't see more appeal Fundora was stopped in his last fight dropped by Lubin and is not much anyway little power, you gotta have some power for Tim, I don't think much of Fundora at all and cant see him offering much resistance Tim will fold him like a hinge.

Thurman/Tszyu wasn't sanctioned by the WBO as a title fight. That's partly why it was gonna be a catch-weight bout.
