Sebastian Fundora says he is not concerned about anything Keith Thurman brings to their fight on October 25. WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Fundora (23-1-1, 15 COs) is convinced that he will win by soon 37-year-old Thurman (31-1, 23).
Fundora’s total physical benefits
The 6’5 1/2 ″ Fundora has a significant benefit in height, youth and activity above the 5’9 1/2 ″ Thurman. Sebastian’s size alone is going to be a difficult obstacle for “once” Thurman to overcome.
Sebastian Fundora against Crawford will be on the Amazon Prime Video PPV of the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas head.
Fundora-Thurman undercard
- Stephen Fulton vs. O’Shaqui Foster
- Jesus Ramos jr. Against Shane Mosley jr.
- Isaac Lucero against Roberto Valenzuela jr.
- Frank Martin vs. Rances Barthelemy
When the two face to face during their kick -off on September 3 in Los Angeles, Fundora pulled over Keith. Besides the size, the youth of 27-year-old Sebastian are likely to be a big problem for Thurman.
Ring Rust: Thurman’s biggest obstacle
Also the ring activity. Thurman delayed his career after receiving a major payday against Danny Garcia on March 4, 2017. He has only fought four times since. With all the downtime Keith has had over the past eight years, he lost a lot of the hand and foot speed he once had.
What remains is Thurman’s power and ring IQ, which makes him dangerous to Fundora as long as the fight lasts. It is possible that “once” will go out as the fight goes beyond the center because he has not stayed active enough to maintain his conditioning. He looks thin and not as lean as he once did.
Fundora expects former WBA and WBC welterweight champion champion Thurman (36) to try every trick in the book to win on October 25. However, Fundora does not see the old ‘one -time’ and expects to strike him, just as he has with his recent opponents.
A promise of ‘violence’ of fundora
“I don’t think so, no,” Sebastian Fundora tells Sean Zittel channel When asked if he thought Keith Thurman would go with him on October 25. “That’s the way we work. We want to display violence. We want to hurt them. ‘
If Thurman tries to win, chances are Fundora will beat him. He will have to participate to win rounds, and that is when he will be hit. Fundora will go away from Thurman and probably take him out quickly if he wins.
Survive to remain relevant
We really want Thurman’s true angle to wage this battle. Is it just to pick up a salary and survive 12 rounds?
If Thurman does the waiver to lose, he can Keep his bustle up and running By boasting that he was not knocked out. He could blame the defeat on an injury, and enough sympathetic fans would believe him to give him another chance.
Surprisingly, Keith gets a world title after only fighting once in the past three years, and beating lower -level fighter Brock Jarvis last March. Thurman probably plugged his way to a world title fight against Fundora rather than earning it by staying active and working on the junior middleweight by beating contenders.
Fundora rejects the veteran’s bag of tricks
“It’s his experience, but I don’t see it as a problem. I don’t see anything that Thurman holds as a problem, ‘Fundora said of what Thurman will do for him in this battle. I think Thurman is going to try everything in his book to win. “
The experience Thurman would have had in his favor could work if he could hit and run all night as in his victories over Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia. But it is doubtful that Thurman has to move the guest tank for 12 rounds to keep the high fundora on the right track all night.
Keith did not reach the benefit of allowing him to use his hit-and-line style. This is the biggest problem, and he is not young enough to move the whole battle.
