Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora | PBC PPV - March 30, 2024

rematch clause maybe ?

Think if it hadnt been for the head cut bleeding in Tszyu` s eyes it would be a different outcome .

Oh for sure.
Prior to the clash/forearm Tim was schooling Fundora. And definitely had the cardio to survive 12 rounds minus a litre of blood.

If, but, maybe, could’ve, should’ve would’ve etc………
I agree, but it can happen and sadly for Tim it did

[amwsnw]

A lot of speculation around the rematch clause, when it needs to be activated by etc. Couple of scenarios I hope for
1) Tim activates rematch clause immediately and faces Fundora next.
2) Fundora goes against WBO orders, vacates belt and fights spence allowing Crawford and Tim to fight for vacant WBO belt.
I can only hope.

I said before the fight if pushed i would have to edge Fundora ,, I was pushed by my sons before the fight ,they demanded i don't sit on the fence , so i picked Fundora stating he would win behind the jab all the way , and Tim would'nt throw enough , he has history of single punches , not following up with combinations , i just did'nt think it would work this time , was,nt sure he would hurt Fundora ,

lOOKS LIKE I WAS CORRECT , but only AFTER THAT CUT Gee i was impressed with how Tim immobalized that long jab in the first two rnds he moved on the outside fenced with that left hand and kept Fundoras right elbow locked in , really reminded me of his dad , he had no trouble slipping and coming back hard , it looked like i was gonna have to eat humble pie , , then that cut , it really changed everything , he could'nt move to Fundoras outside , you don't want to be moving there when you can't see whats there , , it gave Fundora , hope and determination and changed the whol;e fight ,

what really remains unanswered is would Fundora of boxed the same and improved has it went on without Tims cut blinding him , only a rematch will tell ,

Also very poor corner work , facts are facts , a head cut in that spot is ALWAYS , ALWAYS going to be very difficult to control the bleeding is always going to be a problem t in that position and thats without someone peppering a jab into it , The corner cut man should of known this and advised the head trainer , to tell the doctor he can't see , get it stopped after it happenned ,

But its easy to blame him we don't know , if he just does has he's told , who is actually in charge in that corner , are they scared Tim would crack the shits , , we don't know , but it was the corner that cost him his title he done his best , but with that cut best was'nt good enough , and lets not forget Fundora fought while he was swallowing blood and probably having trouble breathing for the whole fight ,

Kudo's to both boxers warriors the two of them , , a big FAIL to Tims corner for not knowing that cut in that position was ALWAYS going to be hard if not impossible to stop and for not knowing that he was gonna be destined to go the whole fight with one eye , and if they did know a big Fail for not encouraging the doc to stop it and get a draw or no contest , right when it happenned , if Tim did'nt want to tell the doc , the head trainer should of opened his mouth and looked for that way out , grab the 10 mill , keep your belt and do it again , these scenarios should be discussed BEFORE THE FIGHT .

Profesionals cover ALL BASES

[Ruthless-RKO]

WBO has said to Fundora. Negotiate with Crawford, not Spence.

[Sendo Takeshi]

I can imagine him vacating WBO to fight Spence.
Maybe Bud and Tszyu gonna fight for the vacated title.

Fundora would be stupid to give up a title he just won at his stage.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Better to lose one for sure than two for sure.
Is Spence an easy fight? No way.
It should be an easier fight compared to Bud though.
Especially after getting brutally dominated and stopped like 8 months ago.

[margaret thatcher]

immediate rematch is what id like to see, it was so obvious in real time that the cut took something out of tim, from bossing the first two to suddenly looking worried, more tentative, and less accurate

that said, cuts are part of boxing and if they say fight on, you gotta bite down and get through it. what if it happens again? unlikely to happen as badly, but you never know

props to fundora too, his nose was gushing (probably broken) since round 2, he was spitting blood since around the same time, yet he never stopped moving his hands or showing confidence in himself. he is one of the goofiest looking tough guys out there

[giacomino]

Yeah, I was going to say, Tim wasn't the only guy losing blood. Amazing performance by both and equally amazing - after watching a replay - that the fight wasn't stopped at some point. I am a fan of Tszyu and he has been pretty smartly matched but Fundora is a tough replacement opponent with his freakish height and non-stop punching. I expected Tim to break him down but Fundora was pitching a shutout when he got KO'd by Mendoza and he's beaten some decent opposition, so it was never going to be an easy fight.

It wouldn't be stupid if he was getting a payday that was worth more than the title. Which, I'm not saying this is an example of that.

[Perseus]

That broken nose earned a 6 month medical suspension from the NSAC. The suspension will keep Fundo out of the ring until late September and he likely will not fight again in 2024.
If any of his possible opponents want to fight this year they should probably be looking at other options.

Fundora isn't worth as much without a title, except being an opponent that better fighters want to trounce on. The more belts he has, the more money he can demand. It would be stupid to give up titles to fight Spence coming off a loss and Spence doesn't have the prestige of a champion giving up his belts to move to 154 like Bud has.
