Interesting seeing as how he went the distance with One Time but didn't make it past 6 with Jr.

Leonard Bundu was only forty years of age and unbeaten when he fought Keith Thurman. He fought Errol Spence Jr. 1½ years later, when he was approaching 42 years of age and didn’t appear to be quite look as conditioned as he was against Thurman.Impractical Poster wrote:Interesting seeing as how he went the distance with One Time but didn't make it past 6 with Jr.
Even though Errol Spence Jr. knocked out Bundu, it took him a few rounds to get going. In stark contrast, Keith Thurman dominated Bundu for every minute of every round and didn’t pursue the knockout.
Leonard Bundu is in an ideal position to be able to draw a true comparison between Errol Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman based on how he felt at the time he fought them, coupled with what he experienced inside the ring.

Spence has to get past Brook first before we start talking of any potential fight with Thurman. Could very well be Brook v Thurman we're talking about after Saturday night.
Slightly favour Spence but Brook is far better than anyone he's been in a ring with. Can bang and is very accurate.

Not saying what he is saying isn't true, just find it interesting.Enlightened-One wrote:Leonard Bundu was only forty years of age and unbeaten when he fought Keith Thurman.

A lot of boxers went the distance with a very good puncher, but got kod by a less powerful puncher.
Also when you re opponent is a big puncher, first time you feel a big punxh from u focus more on your guard defence etc. Ultimatly going the distance.

Pac for example got kod vs marquez, but went the distance with more powerful puncher than marquez, i am reffering to margarito and mosley.

I get it.
Guess it wasn't as interesting as I first thought.

Won't be the first time when boxers are trying to diminish opponents who destroyed them.
Re: Bundu: I Favor Thurman To Beat Spence - He's Faster, Hits Harder
Not sure if that's what Bundu is doing here, but it's certainly common. They'll tell you the guy they beat 9-1/8-2 was tougher than the guy who beat the shit out of them and stopped them...boxing_rocks wrote:Won't be the first time when boxers are trying to diminish opponents who destroyed them.

Fighters always cite guys they beat or went the distance with as bigger punchers than those who stopped them. Manny said his toughest fight was Barrera. It's part of the needed delusions that come with the mental make up of the sport.

Agreed...egos are a funny thing! IMO Bundu is blowing smoke...SaadOffTheDeck wrote:Fighters always cite guys they beat or went the distance with as bigger punchers than those who stopped them.
