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

Great if he has jumped the line, Fun’ did the same, going from being flattened to subbing for “Sometime” Thurman.,Subsequently getting the flukiest of all wins, over the ill-cornered Tsyzu.

So much for tr and pbc working together.


Doubt tzyu is back to who he was. He might be shot

[AKAcronym]

fuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhh

vergil might not get a title shot (against fundora-tsyzu winner) this year.
I think he can at least try going down to 147 for one fight against Boots

He was unhealthy as **** fighting at 147. There's a reason (multiple) he moved up. He's never making 147 again.

That's a very interesting move on Fundora's part. If I were him, I'd consider the first win quite lucky and just ride with it. Continue going after other opponents to build your resume and try to score some massive retirement type paycheck. Instead, he's willing to risk it by going up against the man who was winning until the cut happened.

By Fundora losing to Tszyu this time around it will make everyone say, see, he shouldn't have won the first time and should have never really been champion. It will put his win completely into question and discredit him. Sounds like bad management around Fundora to take this option. Granted I'm sure the Aussies are desperate to continue finding a champion in Tszyu because he's very marketable still. They probably offered a sum Fundora and team couldn't turn down.

It's only fair , Fundora barely squeaked out a win over a severely compromised Tszyu.

I think you answered any questions about this fight by yourself, ELPacman. Tsyzu will be looking back and thinking "damn, I was unlucky, caught by an elbow, had a set of wankers as my team" (followed by a killer of a fighter when I was trying to build myself up again).

I'm no forensic accountant, but like you, I imagine Tszyu's people will have offered everything for the rematch and that would be the top purse that Sebastian could ever see.

Sebastian could be thinking "I'm ten foot tall, I won't even hear the crowd noise and I already did you once, then you got absolutely marmalised by your next opponent, you're weaker, not stronger". Also, a lot of people are understandably referring to Tim looking great for three rounds (which he did) but winning for the first three doesn't mean that the tide can't change in any bout, otherwise people would go home early, like they do in football when it's 3 nil.

I don't believe Fundora will be wondering about legacy, it will be more "how much is that after tax?". Also, can you smell "trilogy" in the air?

Garcia Perez??? Smdh.

I think Tszyu should get another shot at Fundora, due to that horrible cut which likely cost him the fight. I do think Tim screwed up taking on Murtazaliev, because that loss hurt his chin and his rep. However, he and Sebastian have unfinished business.

[steeve steel]

The real question is : will Tim give Murtazaliev a rematch if he beats Fundora?

[MarbleFallsMauler]

At this point in time Fundoras sister would put a beating on Timmy. Look for a much cleaner and non controversial win for Fundy.
