    This is going to turn in to another sad boxing story. A former contender coming back heavier and slower. Some of these dudes need help saving themselves from themselves.

      Fonfara should be fine.

      The guy he’s going up against, Fabio, is 44 yrs old.

      Most of his wins came against guys with losing records or guys making their debut.

      As long as Fonfara stays away from ranked contenders, he should be fine. I look forward to it.

          When I hear of Fundora coming back after 5 years to fight at a heavier fight that tells me he needs the money and has been called by other promoters to fight one of their up and coming champions for name recognition. Coming back at 2 divisions above light heavyweight tells me that Fundora isn't in good shape. Hopefully he will learn some better defense instead of blocking punches with his face.
          Fundora is doing just fine these days. Fonfara wasn't when he retired.

              He should go to the BKFC and fight Alfredo Angulo.

                    Yeah, I am sure the Chicago crowd will be liquored up and all into it. Not a soul else on the globe will care.

                    Although I am posting on this thread, so I guess I am at least amused by this.
