In the presence of basketball luminaries Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, and Kawhi Leonard, the fighter whose physique resembled that of an NBA player failed to deliver the anticipated knockout.
Sebastian Fundora, instead, showcased his evolving boxing skills by enduring all 12 rounds against resilient Spaniard Sergio Garcia in their WBC super welterweight elimination bout. Despite the disappointment evident in the crowd when the 6-foot-6 Fundora was declared the unanimous decision winner on the Gervonta Davis-Isaac Cruz undercard at Staples Center.
Judges Lou Moret (118-110) and Alejandro Rochin (117-111) scored 10 and nine rounds, respectively, for Fundora in a contest that appeared far more competitive. The third judge, Tom Carusone, favored Fundora with a score of 115-113. Fundora, a tall southpaw, maintained his undefeated record (18-0-1, 12 KOs).
This victory propels the fourth-ranked Fundora into a final WBC eliminator against top-rated Erickson Lubin (24-1, 17 KOs). The winner of Fundora-Lubin will earn a title shot against WBC 154-pound champion Jermell Charlo (34-1-1, 18 KOs), who is set to face WBO champion Brian Castano (17-0-2, 12 KOs) in a rematch on February 26.
Fundora’s previous three fights ended in knockouts against Nathaniel Gallimore, Habib Ahmed, and Jorge Cota, respectively. Sergio Garcia, Spain’s number two contender in their division, suffered his first defeat as a professional (33-1, 14 KOs).
Throughout the match, Fundora and Garcia exchanged blows, with notable moments such as Garcia’s right hand that momentarily staggered Fundora in the 11th round. Despite Garcia’s aggression and attempts to land significant blows, Fundora’s defense and strategic strikes ensured his victory.
