Official highlights
horrible don’t watch it 8yr old kid with chewing gum sounds right thru the video
It only took me a second to find this fight in WAY better quality.
And a BIG F! off to Comcast/Xfinity. Horrible company with crap product. Set up DVR to record. Went to watch and it turns out it was the other 2 fights and they told me the outcome of this one.
So better video link: http://www.allthebestfights.com/spence-vs-bundu-full-fight-video-2016/
And though I like Spence he needs to step it up.
Spence did get caught flush a couple of times by the wily old opponent. He more than made up for it, though!
Among top ten fighters I’d like to see Spence in first with the mobile, high-workrate Porter. If Spence can stop Porter, Thurman won’t be able to sleep at night…
41 years old opponent was holding his own before Spence landed a good punch. YOU BEAT A 41 YEAR OLD, SPENCE. Now you’re calling out Brooks with this performance???? Spence, you need to check your self so you don’t wreck yourself. NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME YET, SPENCE!
This was the mandatory eliminator for the IBF. Which is Kell Brook’s Mandatory. That’s why he’s calling out the IBF Champion.
Very good fight but such a big difference in age, reach and power advantages. First time for me to see Bundu fighting and in spite of his age he is quite fast and his aggressive fighting style and frequently changes of his fighting stance complicated a bit the excellent work performed by Spence. However, Spence was cool and very accurate performing an excellent job with his jab followed by left power punches perfectly connected. I guess Bundu was a tough competitor for Spence who in fact enhanced the final result of this fight.
In spite of the differences we should take into consideration this was was a mandatory fight.
