What is your speculation on this fight and what is your prediction? I am speculating that this will be difficult for Keith Thurman, however, he might win with a decision for this. Fundora is very tall but he might not be a very good boxer. The small King Ry on his wanted to challenge on Fundora after his victory against the crying Haney might be the warning sign that Fundora is winning because of his bigger size.
To be honest, I’m leaning more toward Sebastian Fundora in this matchup. He’s younger and far more active—fighting four times in the past two years—which I think is his biggest edge over Keith Thurman. Plus, he’s shown that his lanky frame carries real power, as we saw in the Tim Tszyu fight, where he proved he can go toe-to-toe and even abandon his jab advantage when necessary.
How do you reckon Fundora will get the victory against Keith Thurman, will this be through a decision or will this be a knockout? Also, if you speculate that this will be a knockout, on what round has the higher chance will this knockout occur?
For me this fight could go in the judges scorecard or Fundora might win in the knockout. If a knockout occured in favor of Fundora, it might be around 8 or up, as Thurman have the history of gassing up in the later round specially. The age might also be a factor for him, yes, his comeback win is good, but it was really tailor made for him to look good. Here he will be facing a fighter that is very tall and so all advantage goes to Fundora.
This might be the same as Fundora vs Tszyu, in the early rounds Tim has someone stay with Fundora, but he was hit as well so in the later part of the fight, Fundora was able to soften him. So this is going to be a very hard fight for Thurman here.
