He suffered his last loss in 2013, against Ishe Smith (=Bundrage vs Smith), but then he has won over Joey Hernandez and Carlos Molina (=Molina vs Bundrage).
His opponent, the undefeated Jermall Charlo, has a perfect record of 21-0-0 (16 KOs=76%) and he entered as the No.35 middleweight; he has fought once in 2015 defeating Michael Finney. ‘K9’ Bundrage vs Charlo is valid for the IBF World super welterweight title (Bundrage’s first defense); undercard of Peter Quillin vs Michael Zerafa.

Official highlights
Well
The ref was quick on the gun calling the fight. Though the outcome was obvious.
Would like to see Jermall face Lara or Quillen.
if the outcome was obvious why was he quick to pull the gun? bundrage was giving no offense and would’ve probably been stopped right after. no need to take any more damage.
His opponent was not match for this younger and talented fighter who also has a considerable reach advantage.
Youth, power, reach and height advantage, textbook counters/jabs, Charlo was too good for the aging Bundrage glass jaw.
