Comments Thread For: Bundu: I Favor Thurman To Beat Spence - He's Faster, Hits Harder

[juandabomb]

Yet this dude was hurt more and knocked out cold by the lighter hitting spence...

He say he could see Spence punches coming but that didn't keep him from getting knocked the **** out!!! LOL

Jacob's just went 12 rounds with Triple G Pirog got the KO over Jacobs I'm going to go out on a limb and say Triple G hits harder then Pirog it's the same analogy a guy can hit harder and not get the knockout. It's clear that Thurman has more snap on his punches than Spence and that's coming from someone who has mad respect for both Fighters

Having a lot of snap doesn't make you a bigger puncher than someone else. If that were the case than Floyd Mayweather and Demetrius Andrade are the biggest punchers at welterweight and super welterweight respectively.

I don't get why a lot of people have a hard time understanding knocking someone out doesn't automatically mean more power than the others who couldn't knock the same person out. It also happens with KO records. Whoever has the most must hit harder!

I've said the same thing already. Thurman will give Spence lots of problems. Porter is also not an easy fight for Errol.

Reminds me of when Pascal said Froch hits harder than Kovalev.

A lot of revisionist history going with the Thurman Bundu fight. Thurman didn't "choose" not to stop Bundu, he couldn't.... why would a power puncher take a come forward pillow fisted opponent 12 rounds???

Thurman looked very uncomfortable for that whole fight and his hype took a serious dent that night, that's when guys started calling him "Run time"

he won every round

This ^^^
Same people did with Mike Tyson.. Prime Mike is gonna do this.. do that..
One step up in opposition & he got KOed.. excuse was he was past his prime..

Bundu's comments on their punching power makes no sense whatsoever. Spence ko'd him in six, and Thurman couldn't ko Bundu in twelve, so where does he get that assessment from lol. Spence obviously the much more powerful puncher. With the comment on speed, that could possibly be true, but Spence's power is much better.

Why does it not make sense?

Just because fighter A dropped/stopped fighter B it doesn't mean he hits harder than fighter C.

How many times do you people go around talking about so and so dropped him so this cat will stop him for sure.

Example: Mora dropped Jacobs so GGG will stop him.

I also find it comical that you, who have not tasted a punch from of either one of these guys, are here claiming Bundu is wrong.

its cause 90 percent of the posters on this site are ****ing ******ed lol

[NaijaD]

he won every round

He did, just like Spence also won every round against Bundu. Doesn't mean Bundu didn't have some success.

Doesn't change that fact Thurman was back-pedalling the whole fight and he lost a lot of his reputation as a feared power puncher that night. Thurman was bruised up and wearing shades after that fight so I don't get why people are making it seem like he put on some Floyd-like display. Lol @ revisionists.
