World Championship Boxing : Cornelius Bundrage v. Ishe Smith
In the Ring
K-9's style isn't pretty, but it has been effective.
He's extremely bulky in the upper body, and he throws each shot with the intent of taking his opponent out. He's a bit of an arm-puncher, but his arms are massive, and he applies constant pressure.
Bundrage doesn't have the greatest stamina, but he generally depends on having worn down or hurt his opponent with his pressure before that can trip him up.
He seemed to tire against Spinks in his most recent bout, but to his credit, he gained a second wind, and that surge of energy proved to be the boost he needed to finish the washed-up Spinks.
Here are highlights of Bundrage stopping Spinks in their first bout.
