Good fight. Too bad Fundora went for the cash and took the Tszyu rematch instead of his WBO mandatory.

I'm not too disappointed with the rematch because I never expected him to defend the WBO title. What I dislike is Fundora anchoring himself to a faded Spence, becoming inactive and then wasting time with Chordale Booker. He could've fought Crawford and Murtazaliev. Fundora's moves are typical behavior from a PBC affiliate. He's fighting Tszyu because Tszyu is also PBC-affiliated.

Another fight for a title but the winner is not a world champion.

Horrible. Neither of these guys is even in the TBRB top 10. Fake title fight.

I worry for Zander in this. His zero is not as impressive as the Garcia's run. Zander is getting spoon fed and Garcia is coming through fire. Its not like Zander is blazing through the B class.

I think Zayas is quite good, and a well rounded boxer puncher whose skills will just improve overtime, he be able to face most styles as he is a hard worker with the right backing. But I don't see him isn't a generational talent as made out to be by Top Rank. If life were video game, all his stats would be a 8. With pretty good athlecism, handspeed and power, but his qualities don't necessarily stand out.

Think this is his toughest fight to date, Garcia is a relentless 12 round pressure fighter that makes you pay if you try to close in and he is as tall as Bohachuk. He also has has experience fighting diverse opponents compared to Spoomer. His resume is also deceptive as 3 out of 4 losses were controversial split decisions. Has never been knocked out or down either.

I like this fight. No run in either man. The title is just a trinket, good for bartering.

They are fighting for the Top Rank Belt also known as the WBO belt.

FYI: PBC belt known as WBA belt.
