Comments Thread For: Commission Ruling Will Sideline Sebastian Fundora Until Late September

[A.B Counterhooks]

Well Tim would need similar time out due to that ugly cut ,its of my understanding that the minimum is 120 days but it could extend up to 6months depending of medical recommendation so nothing odd here...at least for now lol.

One thing I dont agree with is ESJ getting a direct title shot at a weightclass new to him(with inactivity)and coming off a KO Loss.

Well well well. What does Crawford do now? Maybe the Eubank fight is back on the cards? Or does he skip SWW and jump to fight for one of the MW titles?

Fundora will be made WBO champion-in-recess. Crawford and Tszyu will be ordered to fight for the vacant belt and Fundora will have the right to fight Crawford next after he crushes Tim. This isn't complicated. It just throws a monkey wrench into Al's plan to slide Spence into the mix.

This is definitely the neatest solution, although it may prevent Tszyu from getting to fight Fundora again if he can't beat Bud. And we would see Bud vs both of them potentially.

this is bad news for fundora, he wont be able to smell his burgers so well for a while

Like I've stated multiple times, this waiting around for fights is so ****** to me, "I'll fight the winner of so and so fight." As if everything will turn out to be perfect, no injuries, issues outside the ring, car crashes, brush with the law, etc.

What makes it more ****** is fans are just okay with it making comments like "Good news, he's stepping up doe." As if the wiinner will be availablle in just a week. After one year being inactive as a rock, yet fans are okay with another six months of waiting minimum. So silly.

And is it really fair to call out the winner while here you are sitting on your ass relaxing and the guy you're waiting for will have to nurse his injuries and he himself need ample time to rest, especially if it's a hard-fought battle?

buds like wtf is going on here, charlo got scared away by canelo, canelo got scared of bud, kazoo might have been the guy to elevate him at 154 now hes battered and bloody & his victor is now out with a sniffy nose till the end of the year, time to relook at the big fish himself, errol spence, now he just has to convince the world that he isnt now a goldfish

I read that Tszyu was not planning to return until the fall, so this falls right in line with Fundora's suspension ending (with even a possible tune up in between) and also puts a plug on a Spence fight this summer. Seems like the sun is shining on Tszyu a little bit here.

Good. Most rematch agreements seem to have expiry dates attached to them so hopefully it’ll allow for that. Their fight was excellent despite both injuries. It would be great to see them go at it again both fully healthy. It’s still a reasonably 50/50 fight in my opinion perhaps leaning a little more towards Tszyu. Speaks volumes about his will to win that he went the distance with both eyes full of blood for best part of 10 rounds. Same for Fundora to an extent. I’d love to see the rematch as a fan even a trilogy. They don’t need either Spence or Crawford at this point. It’ll sell anyway.

And how do you know that Fundora suffered a severe concussion or other head injury we're not aware of? Not everything is a vast conspiracy. You guys act as though Tim Tszyu is a superstar in the sport who drives massive gates and PPV #s.

I frankly don't care who Crawford's next unfortunate victim is. I only care that he fights again soon.

I don’t know until they release more details on it. Nobody does. However, my opinion on the Nevada SAC and PBC’s relationship isn’t some random conspiracy theory. It’s a repetition of events for years that have been widely remarked and commented on. If it was concussion, why not include that information in the press release? that to me is su****ious particularly in the world of boxing which has been rife with bias, criminality and betting fraud pretty much since it’s been in existence. Boxing unfortunately has a long history of this.

Because of his broken nose? Have other fighters been suspended for it in the past? Seems a little sketchy.

A broken bone takes about 8 weeks to heal, but Fundora gets 6 months for his nose, and won't even train during that period? And because of that, he won't be ready for another fight until likely December? That's not sketchy, brother, that's a big, old steaming pile of bullshit! That scarecrow got starched in his previous fight, gets a title shot because Tim's previous dud opponent got injured, then wins a split decision after compromising Tszyu with an elbow to the skull. Now, the nose injury that he suffered himself, sidelines him for 6 months+, while he just gets to sit on his titles.

[Spray_resistant]

The Thurman injury changed plans, Fundora wasn't expected to win, both he and Tim got hurt and will need time to recover before resuming training to get ready for another fights and this is the boxing business's way of coming up with a new gameplan to make more money since the old plan of Bud/Tim is scrapped now.
