    Will Bundu Test Thurman?

    I've seen a little video on bundu, and he seems like a pretty good fighter but is he good enough to test Thurman? Give your thoughts on this fight!

    Yes. If not for limited skills then for heart and workrate.

    He'll take Into the later rounds I believe if not go the distance.

    If Thurman takes him out early, I'll be pretty impressed.

      Bundu is 40 years old, not very quick, not very mobile, and doesn't hit all that hard. He's had a nice little run on the euro scene, but he's not going to push Thurman half as hard as Zaveck did.

        Thurman is going to knock him out and it's going to be brutal.

        Mayweather better fight Pacquiao rather than this monster!

          Bundu doesn't have the pop to deal with Thurman, he will get hurt and stopped.

          He made a bad move signing with Haymon, I got the impression Eddie Hearn was keen to put him in with Brook.

              If the Gavin fight is any indication, Bundu is the very definition of nothing special. He's well rounded but not very physically gifted. Gavin would have probably eked out a close but clear UD win had he not got hit with that liver shot.

              I'm far from sold on Thurman, but I think he will stop Bundu with little trouble.

                Bundu is being underrated on here.

                He's physically very good, good engine, good chin, very durable. He's got some skill too, he can fight going forwards or backwards, good upper body and head movement, good jab. He goes to the body a lot as well.

                This fight kinda reminds me of D.Garcia vs Herrera, nobody's happy with it because they don't really know who Bundu is. I think Thurman wins by late stoppage or a clear UD. Even if it's not close, it will be competitive imo.

                  Why the hell is he fighting Bundu?

                  I'm telling you guys these soft touches are gonna backfire on him when he fights a guy like Brook or Guerrero.

                    lol Guerrero is no better than Bundu.

                    He wants to fight the top fighters, he's called out everyone.
