The event between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora has officially concluded. It was held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 30 and consisted of five title fights on the main card. This article will delve into the complete results of the event.
At the main event, Sebastian Fundora challenged Tim Tszyu for his WBO super welterweight title and the vacant WBC super welterweight title.
Despite Tszyu being the anticipated opponent, Keith Thurman was unable to defend the title as planned due to a bicep injury. As a result, Fundora was chosen as his replacement.
Despite the height difference, Tszyu effectively used his advantage to target Fundora’s body with his attacks during the fight. Fundora, on the other hand, attempted to keep Tszyu at bay with his jab.
Despite a regrettable collision, a large gash was created on the champion’s forehead. This heavily bleeding wound appeared to greatly affect Tszyu’s ability to see as the match continued.
Despite Tszyu’s persistent resistance, Fundora managed to maintain a safe distance from the incumbent champion by effectively utilizing his reach. While Tszyu’s best work was done in close range, Fundora seemed to have the advantage in the later rounds. Nevertheless, Tszyu refused to back down and continued to put up a strong fight.
Ultimately, Sebastian Fundora secured a victory through a split decision (116-112, 112-116, 115-113), earning the titles of WBC and WBO super welterweight champion.
