Comments Thread For: Promoter says Sebastian Fundora must wait to commit to title defense

[Bronx2245]

If I understand this correctly...if Crawford fights Canelo the WBO can no longer force Fundora to fight Crawford for their 154lb belt, it's now or never.

Fundora relinquished the WBO belt for a fight with Spence. Crawford wanted to fight him, and Madrimov was his Plan B.

Fundora shouldn't have the belt in the 1st place coming off getting KTFO and beating Tyszu because of a bad cut...

Why not? They call him to replace another fighter. Why do you think they called Fundora? Exactly, he was knock out by Mendoza that has been beaten convincingly by Tim. The cut? Fundora couldn't breathe from the second round on, and before you say anything about illegal elbow, it was Tim who came hard with his head, thanks God for the elbow because if it not, he would have ko Fundora by a body headbutt.

Fundora has Mendoza problems atm. How can you say your the best when he kayo'd you? If Spence is 60% of himself he stops Fundora. Crawford stops him. Hell I think even Keef once upon a time Thurman beats him.

You most be a diehard tim's fan. He's the best because he beat the best, you're good or bad as your last fight. You know who is not the best? Tim.

Fundora is still carried everywhere, including on the official WBO rankings, as their champion at 154. Are you getting your "news" from Rick Glaser or something?

Fundora should switch to basketball. All I see is circus when I see him in the ring. Even then he's not a walk in the park for Crawford or Spence, or for anyone. Ask Lubin.

Fundora never gave up the WBO belt and the WBO didn't strip him...not yet anyway.

IF Crawford beats Madrimov (big IF because Madrimov is without question, the toughest 154lb belt holder) I suspect Crawford will fight Fundora for the WBO and WBC belts and then target the weakest belt holder Murazaliev for his IBF belt.

True, it's the win a fighter has last, not a loss before that.

I saw it here, but I guess he didn't do it?

So do you see Crawford vs. Madrimov as a 50/50 fight?

Correct, and he got the call because he was knock out in his previous fight, by a guy Tim beat. We could say it was a cherrypick going wrong.
