@Knicksman20 just watched Lubin-Fundora

Lmao this shyt really was fireworks, that 7th round goes to show you can never get too comfortable in the ring

I had it 84-84 at the stoppage, I understand the corner doing what they did but I woulda tried to let bro go for 1 more round

The style Fundora fought in this fight though isn’t sustainable I see why he switched up vs Tim, he will get ktfo fighting as aggressive he was in this fight

Those uppercuts deadly tho I can’t lie

He'd probably beat Spence at this point because he'd have a helluva time getting passed that jab with his below average footwork. Not to mention the punch resistance question mark & if his power would even carry to 54

If you're still on your Quartey kick check him out against Jose Luis Lopez which ended up being another very controversial asterisk on his record. Ike set a Compubox record for jabs landed this fight which still stands. NOBODY wanted to fight Lopez so Quartey agreed to

All valid, although in a strange way this fight is tailor made for Spence, potentially.

Spence’s best attributes are -
- punch volume/work rate/inside pressure
- high right hand guard

Against another legit left hander his right hand guard is a big attribute.

I can see Spence winning a workrate shootout (Fundora has that inside banger style that he likes to get sucked into).

Most other matchups are trouble for Spence at this stage, but in a weird way this works to his advantage imo.

If Spence does that backfoot boxing shyt he did against Mikey than he can prolly pick Fundora apart from the outside, but if he decides to fight how he normally does then we might just get a FOTY 50/50 type of fight.

Spence is gonna struggle getting past that reach like Tsyzu did bro. I don't think this is a fight where he can win fighting from the outside. His best shot is to get in mid range or on the inside but the jury's out on his punch punch resistance. We saw what happened to Lubin & he's fresher than Spence

And damn... A lot happening during the holiday weekend.

1. Too much too soon. These youngsters have social media to capitalize but man missing weight this early in your career is a terrible look.
2. Very disappointed in Boots and how he/his team moving.
3. I don't think Xander will do any better than Camacho vs JCC but props to him for stepping up.
4. And wow... Riyadh and their marketing team. They are all wins.

Nah it sound like he saying he didn't pass the blood test so he didn't try with the scales because it was a no contest already.

Fundora was getting his head boxed off before the cut on Tim.
