Good fight, good card.

Now only if maidana and guerrero quit ducking thurman...

Happy for Bundu to get a fight on a bigger stage, seems like a stand up guy. Though as awkward as he is, Thurman's power should eventually pull out a win.

[Hougigo]

Ah yeah true. Any idea when it will officially become vacant?

When the WBA feels like it

Thurman vs Bundu winner will be inline to fight for Brook's title. That winner will be in line to unify vs Mayweather.

bundu gave up his mandatory position to fight THurman. JoJo dan vs Bizier is up for the eliminator

Nope, Bundu dropped his IBF eliminator, they're fighting for Thurman's WBA interim belt.

I think Thurman will fight Maidana after Bundu.

Edit: Hougigo beat me to it

They could've picked a much worse opponent to keep Thurman busy, so I'm OK with this. I've only seen Bundu in the Gavin fight, but he looks to have a fan-friendly style - like a stick of dynamite. At least it's not someone shot like Julio Diaz, or someone utterly hopeless like Salka.

I'm ok with this match-up, but I'm hoping that this will lead to bigger things for Thurman.

Interesting. Still a solid fight in a division that is stacked with big fights that can be made between the likes of Thurman, Brook, Porter, Guerrero, Maidana, Khan, Alexander, or even Matthese, and Garcia (assuming they move up), let a lone Mayweather.

It only makes sense for Bundu to drop it and take on Thurman where he is probably making a larger purse.
