ERROL SPENCE JR. HOPING TO ONE-UP KEITH THURMAN IN LEONARD BUNDU CLASH: "I CAN MAKE A BIG STATEMENT"
By Press Release | July 19, 2016

Undefeated rising star Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. (20-0, 17 KOs) is set to take on once-beaten contender Leonard "The Lion" Bundu (33-1-2, 12 KOs) in a 12-round welterweight world title eliminator that headlines Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBC Sunday, August 21 from Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk in Brooklyn.

The action on NBC begins at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT following coverage of the Olympic Men's Basketball Gold Medal Game. The 2012 U.S. Olympian Spence Jr. will look to move one step closer to becoming the second member of the 2012 U.S. Olympic boxing team to win a world title after Rau'shee Warren won a bantamweight championship in June.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by DiBella Entertainment and presented by BROOKLYN BOXING™, start at $35. Presale tickets are available now with public on-sale beginning tomorrow at 10 a.m. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting www.ticketmaster.com and fordamphitheaterconeyisland.com.

"This is another great opportunity for me to gain exposure on NBC," said Spence Jr. "A lot of people will be watching because of the Olympics that may not have known my name before. As an Olympian, headlining a major event four years after my Olympic run is exciting. Bundu is an older fighter, but he's tough and has a lot of experience. He fought well against Keith Thurman. Thurman outboxed him but couldn't knock him out. I think I can make a big statement in the division if I can stop him, as I did with Chris Algieri."

"I am going to use my experience to my advantage on August 21," said Bundu. "When I fought Thurman I ended up being overcautious, but that will not be the case this time. I know it's now or never for me and I won't let this chance slip away. Spence will come forward but that will work to my advantage because I love fighting on the inside. I'm going to show Spence a few things that he hasn't seen before."

The brand new Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk builds on the rich history of the sweet science in the Brooklyn neighborhood. Several heavyweight title fights took place on Coney Island at the turn of the 20th century, including James J. Jeffries' heavyweight world title knock out of Bob Fitzsimmons in the 11th round on June 9, 1899. Jeffries would then defend the title two more times on Coney Island with a points victory over Tom Sharkey and a knockout in the 23rd round against James J. Corbett. Lightweight great Joe Gans and former middleweight champion "Nonpareil" Jack Dempsey also boxed in Coney Island.

"It is exciting to have rising star Errol Spence headlining the inaugural boxing event held on August 21 at the new Ford Amphitheater at the historic Coney Island Boardwalk," said Lou DiBella, President of DiBella Entertainment. "Spence is one of the most gifted young fighters in all of boxing and is on track to be a world champion. He will face off against Leonard Bundu, in a final elimination bout, to become the mandatory for the IBF welterweight title, currently held by Kell Brook."

An Olympian who boasted a highly decorated amateur career, the 26-year-old Spence Jr.is coming off a dominating performance in which he stopped former world champion Chris Algieri in the fifth-round in a PBC on NBC main event. Spence Jr. is widely regarded as a future star in the sport and was dominant in his previous NBC appearances when he stopped Phil Lo Greco in the third round in June. His impressive 2015 also included TKO victories over Chris van Heerden, Samuel Vargas and Alejandro Barrera, culminating with him being named ESPN's Prospect of the Year. Now, he looks to secure himself a world title shot.

Originally from Sierra Leone but fighting out of Toscana, Italy, Bundu represented Italy at the 2000 Olympic games where he defeated eventual world champion Daniel Geale. A former European welterweight champion, he owns victories over Frankie Gavin, Lee Purdy and Ismael El Massoudi in addition to going the distance in defeat against Keith Thurman. Bundu comes into this bout with victories over Pablo Munguia and Jussi Koivula in his last two bouts.

Danny Garcia, who has been rumored to face a number of high-profile fighters, is targeting a Sept. 24 return on Showtime, a source with knowledge of Garcia’s plans told RingTV.com on Tuesday.

An opponent is being determined, but Garcia (32-0, 18 knockouts) is obviously not coming back to face Manny Pacquiao, the source said. And though the timetable remains fluid, Sept. 24 is a working date for now.

Garcia last fought on Jan. 23, defending his WBC welterweight title successfully against Robert Guerrero at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Garcia was seemingly a dark horse candidate to face Manny Pacquiao in his return bout in the fall but the Philly fighter is apparently no longer an option

"No, f****' em, he had his chances. They said they weren't even thinking about us, we weren't even in the equation. I think an article came out last week or something like that where Koncz.... he said, in the running.' Now you want to fight us? No, ho about your business," the manager told BoxingScene.com

"Its principle and pride because I felt like they strung us along the first time," explained McIntyre. "They stru us along. Now after Terence whips Postol's a** they want to put Pacquiao in front of us? No, go on, get somebody else."



@hyperman25 you seen this one yet breh?

 

[Newzz]

#Thurminators is good over here too. We waiting for the next nikka with no defense to run and jump head first into left hooks and right crosses for 12 rds

So he can literally turn his back and run away from him too

#GGGoodBoys is eating. All that publicity got us selling out arenas overseas against another nikka nobody ain't want to fight.

Now Brook was being ducked huh?


That's what you rolling with?


That #SSShookBoys spin in full display

The difference between me and you is, while I enjoy talking shyt with ya'll, I don't hang off of every word these boxing nikkas say.

The difference is, I love Boxing....you like it. 2 different viewpoints.

If Ggg manager has an interview that said "Jesus is ducking the fade" I'm not gonna run in here and tag every nikka that likes watching golovkin fight.

It's all good though.
I know you love boxing with a full heart and relish in this shyt so if it makes you happy to tag me whenever Golovkin eats a sandwich with no mayo, then yeah that's cool.

You call yourself a "GGGoodBoy".....I think you're a little past the point of acting like you dont really care about lil g or that you're just a part-time member of the crew breh

8 months inactive N on Showtime goin against Canelo PPV replay on HBO

Great point

These numbers aren't good for primetime FOX with nothing else on TV

I never said I don't care about Golovkin.

I just don't care about him when it comes to the following...

1. His manager or trainer saying random dumb shyt
2. Him making a grilled cheese or any activity that doesn't have to deal with him fighting.

All that shyt doesn't have anything to do with what happens in the ring. That's all I'm saying breh. I mean, how many times do you even see me post up links about him in here.

at you loving boxing and me just only liking it.

Nobody that just likes boxing is going to climb in the ring and train or help others train. I love boxing, it's just that I don't care about all the extra fluff bullshyt that comes with it. You want me to be the type of fan that you are and I'm not. My bad breh. Hopefully you'll train in a boxing gym one day so you can LIKE the sport as much as I do if you still think that.

The Brook line was a joke though. Khan ducked him, but Brook not fighting any other top welters is his fault. GGG/Brook is just a cash grab for 2 dudes who couldn't get the exact money fights they wanted in their own division (Khan/Canelo)

I'll keep it real. Thurman did run in certain spots against Porter, but he made it work and got the W.

I look forward to this even though Bundu is about 3 years older than when he fought Thurman

Calm down breh, not saying you aint calm, but calm down breh


I aint trying to argue with you, Im just jabbing you bc of your initial response to my initial post


It's all love as you already know.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Bundu is average as fukk without any type of power to speak of.

This is just another showcase bout, where Spence will have the opportunity to one up nikkas in the division again. I doubt it tells us anything we didn't know already about Spence.

With that said, I still don't mind seeing him whup Bundu's ass though.
