Thompson: Fundora is the hardest test for “One Time” Thurman

Lonnie B. Thompson forecasts that WBC Junior Middleweight, Sebastian Fundora, will eliminate Keith Thurman when he attacks his body in his struggle on October 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena de las Vegas, Nevada.

The Super Middleweight Thompson claims that the former heavy weight champion of WBA and WBC Thurman (31-1, 23 kos) has not been active enough for the opportunity to beat the young founder of 27 years (23-1-1, 15 kos).

“Fundora pulls on your body. I can’t see Keith Thurman keep him out. As soon as he Tap the body, it’s over “ said Lonnie B. Thompson to FighthypeSpeaking of the struggle of Sebastian Fundora vs. Keith Thurman. “No,” Thompson said when he asked if Tim Tszyu was a tougher founder rival in his two fights that Thurman will be on October 25. “Yes, I think (Thurman is a low step).”

Fundora’s body attack will try Thurman’s ability to endure these types of traits. He had trouble with his body punctures at the best, doing damage to Manny Pacquiao, Luis Collazo and Diego Chaves. Thurman beat Chaves and Collazo, but he was still injured in these fights.

“She has not been active. Fundora is a hard struggle. To get out of the door and move forward -it is difficult,” said Thompson about Thurman who fought difficult with so little activity in the last six years.

Even in Thurman’s Prime nine years ago, Fundora would be pure problems for him due to his large volume, size, body punch and a relentless style of struggle. The hit style used by Thurman when she was younger would not keep Foundora. He had cut off the ring on him as he did against Nathaniel Gallimore and forced him to exchange.

“She is (founder) as 9’11,” throwing shots from all over. Keith Thurman, I never thought it was nothing special. I do not see what the possibility has to overcome Fundora. How will you go to the box with your arms (really)? How will he hit him with a dagger? “Thompson said.

The last high -level opponent who has fought Thurman was Manny Pacquiao, 40, on July 20, 2019, and lost with him for a 12 round decision. In the two Thurman fights since then, he has fought against the Brock Jarvis and Mario Barrios. Without Keith has some tune fights to get it, it will be a hard struggle for him.

“ You will have to get closer, keep him aggressive and enter a fire. Absolutely. You saw with Brian Mendoza. He was fine, half-gamma, and he ended up grabbing him, ” said Lonnie B. About Mendoza, who was out of founder in the seventh round in 2023. ” It seems that his chin was stronger.

Thurman, 36, has not fought against the type of opposition in his last two fights to prepare for a fight against the founder of 6’6 “. In addition, Thurman’s inactivity will put him in a great disadvantage fighting a younger and more volume fighter as the 27 -year -old founder.

Thurman’s last four fights:

• Brock Jarvis: March 2025
• Mario Barrios: February 2022
• Manny Pacquiao: July 2019
• Josesito Lopez: January 2019
