Comments Thread For: Bundu: I Favor Thurman To Beat Spence - He's Faster, Hits Harder

[NaijaD]

Why does it not make sense?

Just because fighter A dropped/stopped fighter B it doesn't mean he hits harder than fighter C.

How many times do you people go around talking about so and so dropped him so this cat will stop him for sure.

Example: Mora dropped Jacobs so GGG will stop him.

I also find it comical that you, who have not tasted a punch from of either one of these guys, are here claiming Bundu is wrong.

Actually in this case it doesn't make sense because Bundu said Thurman hits harder and he couldn't see Thurman's punches coming compared to Spence.

I mean surely, surely, surely the guy who hits harder, faster and you didn't see his punches coming would be the one to knock you out.

Being a harder puncher doesn't mean you'll knock someone out that a lesser puncher couldn't but I just don't think Bundu's comments add up. If he had just said Thurman hits harder then that would be fine, I don't know that Spence hits harder than Thurman to be honest anyway.

Or maybe they just fight differently? Like you said, Thurman spent half of the fight back pedaling. Just because one stopped him and the other one didn't, it doesn't mean Spence hits harder.

When it's Floyd:

I didn't know I needed track shoes, I didn't feel those punches, he didn't do nothing, if he'd stood still I could hit him, he wouldn't engage me

When it's Thurman:

He was boxing, he was moving, he was difficult to catch,
he boxed smart, he had snap on his punches

Seems legit

Same thing was said before the Garcia fight...

I agree with Bundu's assessment.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

I see what Bundu means. Spence usually takes people out with a combination of punches over time. Thurman can land one good shot that can drop somebody as early as the first round. These things are shown pretty consistently in all of their fights.

Body shots are hard for ANYBODY to take...and Thurman took some and stayed on his feet.

Spence is better than Garcia and by a bit. Thurman may crack harder than Spence but he has the style to make Thurman fight his fight at his pace.

Based on what?

It's a good match up. Either guy could win
