    Yes, Bundu will test Thurman, but not sure if it can be any better than Diego did.

          I think they're on the same level, if they fought I would probably pick Bundu to win a close UD.
          But Guererro has been at world level for years now and is a multiple time world champion.

          Bundu has been no higher than European level.

          So again, you can't really say that.

          Bundu not many oppourtunties, true, but the fact still remains.

            Yeah I think he will. I think he will give him a few problems he does most things well. Hes a switch-hitting pressure/aggressive counter-puncher really ain't he?

            I think he takes Thurman the distance as well I've never seen him hurt, hes very well conditioned and he just has that sort of Hagler look about him where he even looks like he'd take a hell of a shot.

            Hes a tough guy for sure & has a lot of experience behind him.

              Bundu won't be easy and if Thurman struggles everyone will come and say how "THURMAN IS OVERRATED" but Bundu has some boxing skills, I don't expect this to be easy for Thurman AT ALL

                I wouldn't say Bundu has a lot of experience.

                His last 3 wins have been good wins in Gavin, Purdy and Jackiewicz but despite his age I think he lacks experience.

                But he is a good fighter, I like him I've watched him a few times. I think Thurman's another level though.

                  He hasn't fought at the top level yet but he was a very good amateur who probably had around 200 fights and fought at the highest level and hes been operating at Euro level in the pros for some time, that has to count for something. I imagine he seen a lot of guys like Thurman in the amateurs - I don't think he has a pro style, hes looks very amateurish to me.
                  He reminds me of a young Amir Khan.

                  That said I see Thurman taking a decision but expecting Bundu to have some good success of his own in there.

                    Look at the guys he's beat to get those paper titles though...hardly 'world level' fighters. His best win is Berto which is embarrassing considering how long he's been around, he's basically rated top 10 at 147 (I don't think he is) based on that win...

                      Not the best but it's still world level and a level he's been at for quote a while.

                      They're just not the same level, atleast not as it stands.
