    I would be down with that Keith was one of my favorite fighters to watch back in the day.

      We should just get Vergil vs Bohachuk 2.

      PBC has Murtazaliev and Fundora, yet they don't unify.
      In the first fight Bohachuk was hitting Ortiz with brain scramblers in a fight that should have been a draw. Murtazaliev has been begging for a Fundora fight but neither Fundora or Sampson Lewkowicz want any part of Murtazaliev.

        I hope oshaquie foster vs Cool Boy steph is on this undercard since the tank vs roach fight was canceled and its no longer on that card

          Thurman has the skills to beat the fun-to-watch but annoying Fundora, but Keef is probably too old and too inactive to beat him now. Contrary to some, I think this isn't a terrible fight, it will offer some entertaining intrigue. Yeah, I wish we saw Fundora fight Ortiz, Bohachuk Murtz, or Madrimov, but Thurman is still no gimme. That is unless Thurman ends up like Haye when he fought Wladimir, remember that massive egg he layed on the ring?

            Damn, Champ, I was relying on someone sitting me down and slapping me hard across the face because I've been thinking of betting on Keith since I heard about this. But oh no, you're here egging me on. I don't even gamble anymore, apart from the lottery, which is just clicking on 'lucky dip' and 'buy', but something is luring me in on this fight. There's no odds up yet (that I can find) but Keith by KO is a fancy of mine. I've never forgotten how Brian Mendoza worked Sebastian over and then folded him like a deckchair.
            Seriously? Keith was chosen for a reason, save your money.

              And dumb fvks still gonna say how bumdora "has improved"
              And who was responsible for Tim's downfall? Calling Fundora a bum doesn't make sense.

                Al Haymon keeping everything in house again. He has a large stable of fighters that are inert and continues to do this.

                    I don't see this as such a bad fight as everyone else does. It somewhat makes sense because it was originally supposed to be Tszyu vs Thurman and that didn't happen. Then Tszyu gets stopped by Fundora, so it's somewhat natural that Thurman isn't interested in Tszyu anymore and rather go for the guy that beat him and has a belt.

                    I don't think it's going to be as easy as people think. If there is one thing Thurman has, it's pride. That dude has a lot of ego and he won't simply take a beating from Fundora because of his lack of defense the way Tszyu did. He can move decent too, something Tszyu could not. Thurman, despite his inactivity is rather a fresh fighter who hasn't been in too many wars.

                    Consider me one of the few excited for this matchup that I never thought I'd ever see or needed to see, lol.

                      When they only do 3 events per year it's hard to get other fighters to fight in there card. Plus they are scared to see their fighters lose on their network.
                      They don't offer any other network fighters fights.
                      You see them offering Shakur to fight Tank?
