    Now THAT would truly be shocking.

      Bundu is a lot better than anyone who hasn't seen him would imagine he'd be, pretty quick for a 40 year old too, but Thurman shouldn't have any trouble if Thurman is as good as many think he is.

        He ain't dropping or stopping anybody.

            This Bundu guy is too slow for Thurman. He's shorter and has short arms. He's too shy throwing punches at a distance. I don't think you would see him unleash a flying punch similar to the one Maidana threw when he knocked down Broner. He's only effective at close range, but how can you do that with a guy like Thurman?

            If he manages to last the distance, then he's either a really good fighter or Thurman is average.

                So the poll says Bundu will test Thurman. We'll soon see if this is true. That's the beauty of real fights, as opposed to fantasy fights.

                  This fight is more about Bundu than Thurman, IMHO. I understand he signed up with Haymon. But will he become a new discovery or become just another fighter for Haymon fighters' exhibition tune up matches? Let's see what happens.

                      Zaveck is proven world class, just not at the top of the world class. This fight more proves if Bundu is world class as well in my opinion.
