Fundora Dominates Thurman to Retain WBC Super-Welterweight Title
Sebastian Fundora delivered a crushing defeat to Keith Thurman, stopping him inside six rounds to retain the WBC super-welterweight title. The bout was waved off by the referee, with Thurman suffering a bloodied face and unable to withstand Fundora's relentless barrage of punches. Fundora's significant height and reach advantage allowed him to dominate the contest, keeping the former unified welterweight champion at bay throughout. Thurman, who had only fought twice since his 2019 loss to Manny Pacquiao, struggled with Fundora's potent left hand, which buckled his legs early on. Fundora's impressive performance saw him take his record to 24-1-1, while Thurman's slipped to 31-2. Following the fight, Fundora expressed his admiration for Thurman, stating that he had always looked up to him as a Hall of Famer. However, Fundora was determined to prove himself as the best in the 154-pound division, and his victory has set him up for future title defenses. Thurman, on the other hand, was frustrated with the early stoppage, feeling that the referee had intervened too soon and denied the fans a more exciting contest.
