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.
    I don't consider amateur experience, it's basically a different sport.

    Oh yeah it counts for something no question, and for a euro level fighter he's beaten good fighters and I do think he's a good fighter but I don't know experinced isn't something I'd call him.

      Bundis has good counterpunching power, he is like the older version of Sadam Ali. Does everything well enough to hold his own except with a better chin.

      I've seen him take Gavins and Purdys clean shots without flinching.

      He may very well give Thurman some disheartening feelings on the night because he is certainly capable of walking through most WW's punches.

          Fight is just about one week away.
          This is another KO for Thurman.

              If Bundu was capable of testing Thurman, Al Haymon wouldn't have made the fight. Why do you think Haymon paid off Danny Garcia's mandatory opponent to step aside and all Garcia to fight someone else first? It damn sure wasn't so he could set up a Garcia/Peterson or Garcia/Mayweather fight.

                Really? I was under the impression he was one of those guys that came into boxing late.

                I had no idea he has an extensive amateur background.

                      Thurman's been on the shelf too long and they aren't going to take Bundu seriously. Bundu shocks, drops, and stops Thurman.
