Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora to rematch Tim Tszyu; Xander Zayas and Jorge Garcia Perez to contest vacant WBO title at 154

[anonymous2.0]

1. Fundora/Bohachuk was the original co-main before Thurman pulled out, so he was physically prepared for a fight.
2. It's more difficult to prepare for someone like Fundora because he's unique. Tszyu probably has to find 175lb sparring partners before he comes close to Fundora's physical dimensions.
3. Fundora beat Tszyu because he used his height/reach advantage. I don't think Fundora will be pressuring Tszyu in the rematch, but rather forcing Tszyu to chase and initiate. If Fundora pressures, he'll probably walk into something.

Ah, didn't know Fundora was training for Boha

Fundora was upgraded to the main event, and Mendoza (the guy who stopped him) took his place vs. Bohachuk. Going from Thurman to Fundora was a high-risk change, which definitely didn't pay off for Tszyu. It's only fair that Fundora now pays Tszyu back. I prefer the rematch over Fundora/Spence and Tszyu/Thurman. I'm interested in seeing if Fundora can manage to replicate his second-half performance from the 1st fight, or if Tszyu comes in aggressive and forces Fundora to stand his ground again.
