Fundora Pounds, Dominates and Stops Thurman to Retain Super Welterweight Title

At a PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video, Sebastian Fundora showcased his superiority against Keith Thurman at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Fundora, the WBC super welterweight champion, forced the stoppage in the sixth round, displaying clear dominance. From the opening bell, Fundora controlled the center of the ring, using his height and reach to dictate the pace of the fight.

Thurman, a former unified welterweight champion, struggled to land meaningful shots against the champion, who showcased both precision and power. Fundora's combination of size and jab caused serious problems for Thurman, highlighting the champion's aggression.

Thurman's experience was evident, but it was not enough to counter Fundora's aggression. The champion's jab and left hand repeatedly found their mark, preventing Thurman from establishing a rhythm. By the fifth round, Fundora was battering his opponent across the ring, and the end of the fight seemed imminent. The victory came in the sixth round, when referee Thomas Taylor stopped the fight, awarding Fundora the TKO victory in the sixth round.

Thurman protested the stoppage, but the outcome was clear given the amount of punishment he had received.

With this victory, Fundora not only retains his WBC belt, but also solidifies his reputation as one of the most dominant and unusual champions in the division. The official scores reflected Fundora's dominance in the early rounds, with a running total of 50-45 before the stoppage. Fundora, now more established at 154 pounds and with a record of 24-1-1, has shown that his size, style, and relentless approach make him exceptionally difficult to beat.

Fundora, in his post-fight interview, took his hat off to Thurman, calling him a 'future Hall of Famer' and showing him respect.

When Jim Gray asked who he wanted to face next, Fundora replied, “Anyone can get it.” Thurman, returning from a period of inactivity, was unable to mount a meaningful challenge despite his pedigree, leaving doubts about what the veteran's next steps in the division might be.
