    His midsection is a 3ft long target, he doesn't use his height and reach, doesn't have a lot of power and smothers his own shots, I don't think Tim will have any trouble with Fundora at all.

          Porter is right, Tim is going to wash Fundora easily.

            Agree with the analysis of Fundora. Fundora completely negates all his physical advantages with his style and if he hasn't learned to use them in this fight, he is in for a long(or short) and painful night. However, if he does work behind his physical tools, he can make it very difficult for Tszyu to establish his rhythm and work. Should be a fun one while it lasts.

              We're here now. Fundora is all us fans got. He's the only one who stepped up. Everyone of the inactive ones like to say they're always in the gym and keep themselves in shape even if they have no fights just in case, yet where are they? Otherwise, fight would have been called off and fans would end up with bikers like Romero and Lara for $80 PPV.

                  Porter likes to brag about having given Thurman his hardest fight. He's proud, I get that. And yet we'll never know because Keith stopped fighting regularly. There's not that many Thurman recent fights to compare it with. Even then we can say it's not only you who gave Thurman a run for his money. A nobody like Bundu turned OneTime into RunTime. Thurman couldn't take his punches.

                  Porter needs to forget about OneTime to be able to make a truly objective prediction. It has no bearing on this fight. They're completely different animals.​

                    Yeah if he had a spear of a jab and cracking right hand he be very hard to beat, he just doesn't use the advantages he has, with the height and reach a hard straight jab like a piston would win him big fights on its own, you would think his coaches would not let his style override his attributes, If I were training him everything would be around reach and full extension, he would probably punch harder too, Id make him study Thomas Hearns.
