Comments Thread For: Who will Sebastian Fundora fight next?

[Malvado]

I don't get all the hate against Fundora, he actually comes to fight, and isn't afraid to mix it up. I could understand if he stood back and jabbed all night.

He is pretty likeable, perhaps not a showman like Tszyu or Thurman but he is disciplined when it comes to professional boxing, plus so far he has delivered entertaining fights recently.

1- He has a distinct physical advantage in his height and reach (well somewhat, it can also be a detriment), and as Wilt Chamberlain said, "nobody roots for Goliath". Lots of people only want to see those who are not as naturally gifted win. For some reason they don't enjoy seeing those who have the potential to be the vert best perform at their best- they want the best to lose to some scrappy underdog.

2- For a long time he didn't fight in the style people wanted him to fight in. He was tall, but he chose to brawl on the inside, and that just stuck in some people's craws. Frankly, I liked him more then, I like when people are able to succeed while going against conventional wisdom- the path to mediocracy is paved with best practices.

3- He is a PBC fighter, which in itself isnt wrong, but so many boxing fans are fans of promotions more than just fighters. Which means they root against fighters from all of the other stables (even though their favorite promotion does all the same crap).

I doubt either one of the Charlo twins would step up. The Tower is probably one of the reasons why Jermell retired.

Tony Harrison ducked Fundora. Crawford pretended he wanted Sebastian's belt, even lambasting Spence for trying to steal the chance away from him. But when the fight was officially ordered, all of a sudden Crawford didn't want it no mo. WBO didn't even hide the fact that they'd rather see the belt strapped around Crawford's waist than Fundora's. TC and Bomac wanted none of it, it turned out.

None of the guys at 154 want it. They'll avoid Fundora for as long as they can.

Fundora wasn't his original opponent he was a last minute replacement.

he hasn't reached his ceiling? How do we know if hes insistent on fight guys hes a big favorite to win?? Guarantee his next fight is another bum. Dude got lucky and he knows it

I know Fundora was a late replacement but whats your point here? Do you know boxing? It does not matter if you believe Fundoras last opponents are future all time greats or not everyone with eyes and a understanding of the sport can see that Fundora is improving from fight to fight he starts using his reach, he lets opponents walk in and picks his shots way way better than before when he fought even weaker opposition. He bounced back from his knockout loss and different than many other fighters including Tszyu he used it as learning experience without losing his confidence and mentality as a fighter.

My point was Fundora is just better than Tszyu and he proved it. Tszyu would never take a fight against Fundora again he took his soul in front of the whole world.

How did he prove it? He got lucky the first time and the second time Timmy had already got stopped again while bumdora keeps fighting weak opposition

Yes that elbow to the forehead was timmy's fault lmfao

I love that. "The winner got better". BASED OF WHAT!?? Bumdora has fought nobody of note since that lucky win! He fought a bum in cheddar booker (nobody even knows who that is) meanwhile timmy fought Bakhram, and fought a shot tszyu and a fvkcing 40 year old inactive injury prone Thurman but he's improving cause hes holding the belts hostage fighting guys hes clearly gonna beat lmfao loser

"Yes that elbow to the forehead was timmy's fault lmfao", Yes it was his fault, he came in with his head aiming the body and the elbow was blocking it. And you can see it in slow motion, youtube has it. I shouldn't keep talking to you after that remark about the elbow, "Bumdora has fought nobody of note since that lucky win!", yes he fought Timmy again, the one you hold in such high regard, yes he fought a 37 years old former champ, injuries has nothing to do with this fight, you may ask why? He wasn't injurerd, he got oblitared. Since we're talking about Timmy, how did he got to the point he was shot? Because prior to his fight with Fundora he didn't face a murderes row, actually he fought Mendoza and it was a clear win for him, did he got old in the middle of the fight with Fundora? Tell me in your expert opion why you're stating he is shot? It is the first time I read that possibility.

Its like arguing with a wall.

Bumdora has not fought anyone of note since his lucky win!

Cheddar booker, shot Timmy and a 40 year old inactive injury prone Thurman.

His next fight is gonna be against another bum or inactive fighter. Watch.

No, is like asking a 5 yo kid a question. Why do you think Timmy was shot, and when did you notice? And check the reply with the elbow, do that, and just tell me if it Timmy's fault or not? But watch it. Don't forget the question about shot Timmy.

When he actually fought a tough opponent in Bakhram while coming off a loss and getting beat tf up. Meanwhile bumdora fought cheddar booker. A guy nobody knew but knew he wasn't very good because they chose him as an opponent.

In the end the elbow doesn't matter. It was accidental and it was what bumdora needed to win. He fought a one eyed fighter from the 3rd or 4th round on. And even then it was still close

One eye fighter? I'm pretty sure the elbow was on the fronthead, yes blood would go to the eye, but losing vision of one eye? He still has his moments and Fundora couldn't breath, so both of them where handicapped, just because he lost, well, he got brutalized by Bakhram, still doesn't mean he is shot, and if he was Fundora was part of that process, he lost(was a heck of a fight) and then got koed by Fundora, Murtazaliev lost in January to Josh Kelly, so he is shot too? You know the problem with fans like you, when you like one fighter he became an idol for you, and icon and he is going to be the best that ever was, in your mind, then he looses a fight and reallity hits but you're so deep and spent so much time idiolizing this boxer, that you needed an excuse for yourself, not for the fighter, fvk the fighter, you need to believe that you were not wrong and the fault can't be in your idol, oh no, have to be the other one that got lucky.
