Erroll Spence jr meets Leonard Bundu in IBF final eliminator.

On August 21st in Coney Island, New York, undefeated Prospect Erroll Spence jr faces tough Italian based African Leonard Bundu in an IBF final Eliminator. The original scenario was to see the winner meet the victor of the Jessie Vargas v Kell Brook matchup, but since the revelation of Brook v Golovkin, the winner may ultimately be given the right to box for the vacant title, considering Brook is now campaigning at 160..   Bundu 33/1/2 (12 Ko's) is a deceptive fighter, who's age (41) doesn't reflect his energy in the ring.  A 2014 victory over future IBF title challenger Frankie Gavin thrust Bundu into a fight with Keith Thurman for the WBAs interim title, despite losing by a wide points margin, Leonard didn't disgrace himself, and has since remained unbeaten, beating both Pablo Munguia and Jussi Koivula convincingly, picking up the vacant EBU title against the latter..   Spence however is a tall order, the rising star seems to impress us more each time out, his last 5 opponents have only tallied 7 losses between them and Spence disposed of each one inside of 8 rounds..  Last time out Erroll knocked out Chris Algeri in 5 rounds, something that Ruslan Provodnikov, Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan failed to achieve, placing the 26 year old southpaw ahead of schedule..   The likelihood is that Spence will get past Bundu and probably fight for the championship before 2017, but It's a test that has to be passed, it's more a matter of how Spence executes the task than just the mere victory itself, 20/0 (17 Ko's) tells us he's capable, a convincing display against Bundu may indicate if he's championship material.
