Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora moved closer to a world title shot with a 12-round unanimous decision over the previously-unbeaten Sergio Garcia in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator.
Final scores read 118-110, 117-111 and 115-113.
Fundora established control quickly in the first, snapping Spain’s Garcia’s head back with a booming left. The two traded evenly through the early rounds. Garcia had his moments, including a sharp overhand right in the fifth that drew blood from Fundora’s nose.
The 23-year-old Fundora found his range in the sixth, pumping the jab and using his 6-foot-5 frame and 80-inch reach to keep Garcia at bay.
“I was using my distance a lot more. I wanted to display something different than what I’m used to,” said Fundora. “Height was definitely a difference in this fight.”
Garcia struggled to land during the second half of the bout, save for a couple moments in the 12th when the two combatants stood toe-to-toe.
“Maybe things could have been different if I had been more aggressive from the beginning,” said Garcia. “I shouldn’t have let myself get carried away by what he was doing.”
Fundora believes he’s ready for a world title shot.
“We just beat the No. 2 in the WBC, so we have No.1, and we have the champion,” said Fundora. “Whoever they give us next, we’re ready for.”

How does fundora even make this weight class dude needs to eat and become a heavy weight
Fundora needs to go up in weight, i belive that his natural weight is 80KG, at that weight he wouldn’t neither be overweight or underweight. Plus he needs to change his fighting style if he wants a permanent clean record. Outboxing is what would suit him better. He is not gonna win inside the pocket against opponents with shorter and bulkier arms, tall guys tend to have more powerfull straight shots. because their triceps are longer and there is more whipping force behind the shot, like the hitman Hearns’s flicker jab.
Garcias fighting style and stance is so weird lol.
