Steve Bunce (spoiler on the K9 fight)

[Kev]

Steve Bunce is ranting saying its a disgrace that K9 has now won the eliminator beating some unbeaten Chechyan tonight thus getting him a title shot at Paul Williams.

He's saying that K9 is a bum and doesn't deserve anything and that Jamie Moore should be getting the shot and that he would walk through Bundrage in 3 or 4 rounds

Now I like Jamie Moore, he's a great fighter to watch and deserves a shot but to dismiss Bundrage as a bum and not worth a chance is just totally wrong.

He beat Kasim Ouma this year, he lost a controversial one to Grady Brewer who is naturally much bigger. He beat Steve Forbes, his resume is more impressive than Jamie Moores, whose biggest wins are against a faded Sebastian Lujon and a domestic fighter in Matthew Macklin.

Now I'm not bashing Moore I really like him, great exciting fighter, but Bunce just fucking pisses me off with his over the top rants.

K9 has just knocked out an unbeaten fighter in a fight he was expected to lose, he beat former champ and at one time best junior middle in the world Kasim Ouma and beat Stevie Forbes who was good enough to fight Oscar De La Hoya earlier this year.

How has Macklin done more than Bundrage, and not just more, but according to Bunce a huge amount more?

Fuck off Buncy you fat twat

I pretty much said the same in the top sticky, couldn't believe the way he was goin on, i mean if Bundrage so obviously gonna get walked over by Williams (which I think he will, altho so would Jamie Moore) why begrudge him the shot?? btw nitpickin i no but steve forbes actually beat bundrage

ha yeah my bad,Forbes did win, close fight though, K9 made it real ugly as he is often prone to do.

Still the point of the post still stands, he's a tough opponent, capable of springing the upset and capable of giving a good account of himself.

He took the Joel Julio fight at short notice and went into the late rounds he's mixed in good company, dropping Sechew Powell in the first in that bizarre fight they had.

He's certainly no world beater, and not going to be a world champ but him and Jamie Moore is a pick'em fight imo, not sure who would win.

Moore has got heart a plenty but K9 is tough and durable, and isn't afraid to fight ugly like Hatton and hold and grapple his way to a win if necessary.

I'm fairly sure he would frustrate the hell out of Jamie Moore regardless of the result and there is no way in hell Moore gets him out of there in 3 rounds.

If he can take the Julio fight at a couple weeks notice and go 8 rounds, beat Kasim Ouma and win against this unbeaten top contender on foreign soil tonight he's definitely not going to lay down and be beaten in 3 rounds by Jamie Moore who to be honest wouldn't even be in the top 5 opponents that Bundrage has faced.

I met K9 twice, really nice, personable guy. Glad he's getting a shot at a title (although he's going to get blown out the water). Who's Steve Bunce? Does he promote Jamie Moore? If so, that's all you have to tell me. Nothing new there.

No he's one of the leading Boxing journalists in Britain. I can't deny he's good tv, but he was talkin bollocks here. Maybe I heavily underrate Jamie Moore, but I see him in the same league as other domestic fighters such as Anthony Small & Bradley Pryce (ie potential for world title shot if they get lucky on their way up, & don't slip up any more). I think only Lujan is comparable with the leading opponents on Bundrage's CV

Sorry Bilbo mate, I think Bunce is spot on in this one, in as much as he's saying that K-9 shouldn't have been in there fighting in an IBF eliminator. Fact is, Bundrage shouldn't be in an eliminator if he's coming off a defeat in a non-title bout, and this whole debacle was a Warren-style set up where Baysangurov's matchmakers have obviously tried to set up their boy with the weakest opponent available that would have been accepted as an eliminator.

As I mentioned in another thread, this isn't K-9's fault, he's the unwitting benefactor of being underestimated by a fighter with a padded record who was looking for the easy route to a title shot. The only reason he was there was because he'd been on the Contender, and would have been a recognisable name on Baysangurov's sparse record.

Jamie's a banger, who's had other eliminators fall through before, and has been knocking on the door of the rather dull light middleweight division for an age, and should have had an eliminator over a year ago. I reckon Moore would beat K-9 in a longer bout than Bunce envisions, but would get him out of there towards the end. K-9's ended up jumping the line and getting lucky, and while it's good for him, there are others who should have been ahead of him in line.

Bilbo I know where you are coming from mate. I was sat in disbelief how this man actually has an opinion he is permitted to share with millions of viewers and readers. The mans facts are just plain wrong and last night he said a number of things that he just seemed to make up to support his arguments. It kinda angers me to see him in that position when I read so many comments on this site from people who consistantly give valid opinions for free.
