Bundrage defeated Clark to the ground with a huge punch to his temple which earned the fifth round, based with two of the three judge’s scorecards . The result was the majority of judges (2 judges declared Bundrage was the winner, and one judge claimed it was an even draw).

Then just a month later on December 13, 2008, Bundrage flew thousands of miles to Germany on 2 weeks notice to later upset previously unbeaten prospect European Champion Zaurbek Baysangurov via 5th round KO in an IBF eliminator for the #2 mandatory spot.
