On The Watch “It’s All About Sebastian Fundora vs Tim Tszyu”

WBC Junior Middleweight Showdown

Last night’s PBC/Prime Video PPV Co-Main Event between WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Sebastian Fundora (23-1-1, 15 Kos) and former foe Tim Tszyu (25-3, 18 Kos), was a very impressive showing by the Champion at the Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Fundora came into this rematch locked and loaded and ready to put a beating on his opponent, who talked a good game all the way to the build up but fell short of delivering the goods by the way this bout unfolded.

I’m not sure what kind of “game plan” Tszyu and his team concocted but this version of Tszyu compared to the version that challenged him in their previous time stood absolutely no chance of dethroning the Champion inside that squared circle last night.

This version of Tszyu regressed dramatically while Fundora stood there teeing off on him at will manhandling him round by round detonating an active jab while keeping his height and reach to his advantage at all times.

From the time Tszyu got dropped in the first round to a standing 8 count the writing was already on the canvas. Tszyu looked defeated and disengaged, unable to press the action and lacked the motivation to be competitive with a strong towering competitor firing shot at a high clip.    

At the end of the seventh round, the referee at hand approached Tszyu’s corner asking if they wanted to continue and to my surprise Tszyu’s answer was no.

Forcing Tszyu to quit on his stool is not something that I expected to happen but I most definitely tip my “B” hat to Fundora for this very impressive win and retaining his WBC Junior Middleweight Championship.

Now onto the next, Champ.
