Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman prediction: Who will win and how
After a false start last October, Sebastian Fundora and Keith Thurman are set to lead a PPV this Saturday. Who wins?

Bad Left Hook will have LIVE coverage of the card starting at 8:00 pm ET. Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KO) put the screws to Tim Tszyu in their rematch last July, extending his winning streak to three since a shocking upset loss to Brian Mendoza in 2023. Thurman (31-1, 23 KO) has fought just once in the last four years, a three-round thumping of Brock Jarvis in hostile territory last March.
Can “One Time” defy the odds once again, or will Fundora once again prove himself the man to beat at 154? Who will win Fundora vs Thurman? Cliche though it may be, this honestly does boil down to how much Thurman has left in the tank, because as far as I can see, his style is perfectly suited for chopping down Fundora.
As much as he’s improved, Fundora still bears a number of shortcomings that his offensive prowess has to compensate for. Some of these are physiological; you can’t expect someone built like Manute Bol to move like Fred Astaire. Others, though, point to some lingering complacency.
