[Boxing]: Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fundora - Oct

[bbc.reporter]

Agreed on there is a risk, however, I reckon this is very low risk for Errol Spence. It is also headshaking that everyone is creating storylines of doubt about Spence. Who was the only boxer who has won against him in his whole career? This is Bud Crawford who is presently the pound for pound best boxer in the world and everyone is speculating that this fight vs. Fundora might be very risky? This is a tune up fight for the former other king of welterweight.

Whenever a fighter takes the kind of beating that Spence did, they are never quite the same. This is on top of being badly injured in a car accident and having serious eye problems. Also, he is only fighting once every 12+ months. This level of inactivity could be detrimental. Fundora might be a weak champion, but Spence is far from being in his best form. It is always a challenge for Fundora’s opponents figuring out how to deal with his height. Even if he is easy to hit, you will have a hard time avoiding his counters, which may include elbows as we saw against Tim Tszyu.

I very much agree on the argument on Errol Spence not being in similar form and confidence after the type of loss that he has experienced against Bud. However, my argument is Bud Crawford is presently no.1 pound for pound in the sport of boxing, the other king of welterweight and he very much can win against Usyk if he has the size of a heavyweight boxer. Who is this Fundora before Tim Tszyu?

Also, it has been speculated that Spence was dehydrated and weak for the fight vs. Crawford. He will not have this problem vs. Fundora because this fight will be in super welterweight. This might be a knockout victory for Errol Spence.

There's always an speculation like that after a boxer losses in a fight, why can't just we accept that it was a fair fight and Crawford was the better boxer that time. Now, it's a comeback fight of Spence and we are expecting a knockout, I'm not saying it won't happen but I really have doubt since we've see this underrated boxer Fundora on how he beat a champion in a close battle.

I'm not sure though if Spence can score a knockout victory here, if he will ever win this fight, I think it will be a decision win for him and Fundora is very tough specially with how he showed in the Tim Tszyu fight.

Prior to him becoming a champion, if I'm not mistaken, he was in the top 5, and against Mendoza, he was leading in the judges scorecard, all 3 of them have Fundora by 4 or 5 points. Until Mendoza caught him with that huge punch that's why he was knockout. But if not for that, I think he could have won that fight.

But that one knockout loss by Fundora is a reference to all the fighters that want to beat him, I'm sure Spence watched and will continue to watch to spot Fundora's weakness and try to create a similar situation where he was knocked down.

The strategy that I can think of is Spence will try to get the match as close as possible so he can get his left hook he will go toe to toe here because as long as he is close to Fundora, Fundora has no advantage over him.

When you have that height advantage the body is an easy target if Spence worked on the body he would have a good opening in the face, Spence needs to win this fight and I'm sure he is so serious about his training because another defeat could be the end of his career.

I will say he just caught him at the right place at the right time,

It was a left hook, Spence is not known to have power in his left hook and he himself was vulnerable to it, against Ugas and Porter Jr, but they just failed to capitalized it. Tim also try that strategy as well, but Fondura was a well aware of already and so he covers his left side once he throws his right hand.

Body could be a good target, I will agree to dhat, and that could be the plan of Spence before he go upstairs and trying to open up Fundora.

It will always be that argument that if someone losses a big fight, it could be either be that he has problem with weight, or their preparation is not enough. But as you have said, it was clearly that Crawford is the better fighter and he was the favorite going into this fight.

But here, since this is '54 lbs, there's no way that Spence can used that excuses, he should be man enough if he losses again and it could really put a lot of pressure on him on whether he will continue with his career or not. Or we will see if Crawford took everything from him and he might not be the same Spence that we have know prior to his first lost.

Of course, everyone has a strategy fighting a taller guy like hitting their body. But I think Fundora has really adjusted very well and knows that will be the case for him and that knockout lost against Mendoza really open his eye on how to play defense while throwing at the same time.

And he being a champion, I think there is some bragging rights that in his mind, he is tough and that even Spence is not going to beat him in this fight. And that's why it will be another hard grinding fight for him like in the Tszyu fight and chances for Spence might be good if he can cover in the first part of the fight and then pour points in the second half for a win in the scorecard.

This is a very important fight for him as it's his return after a while, so he needs to create a noise and that is by winning the fight. Actually, he could challenge Spence again once he will become a champion, as I'm sure it will not be hard for the promoters to make the fight happen.

Fundora maybe taller, but he won by an upset to a boxer which I think way below the level of Spence, so I'm expecting that he'll dominate the big man and since he doesn't have the edge on the lenght, he should knock him out like what he did to Ugas.

We really can't compare performance though, Ugas almost knockdown Spence though just saying. So different opponents, different strategy. I'm not sure or heard who will be the new trainer of Spence is this fight? Anyone aware as who is going to replace Derrick James?

And that is also another factor that we need to look at, with a new trainer, maybe it might take some time for him to adjust and learn new things from him. Or that is also we need to look at before betting on Spence at it could also affect his performance here for good or for the worse.

Crawford will have a fight at 154 lbs against Madrimov and it's also for the title. So they are also in the collision course here, if by chance Errol Spence defeated Fundora, then we might see the another unification fight between the two but this time at Super Welterweight.

Fundora maybe taller, but he won by an upset to a boxer which I think way below the level of Spence, so I'm expecting that he'll dominate the big man and since he doesn't have the edge on the lenght, he should knock him out like what he did to Ugas.

Tim Tzsyu also suffered a cut in that fight and it was a messy fight. And he take advantage of it and fight to the teeth as if there is no tomorrow for this two boxers. But in the end the tall and length of Fundora is too much. So we should expect another great fight for Spence here as Fundora could be a big challenge for him.
