The WBC number two ranked world contender introducing Sio El Nino Garcia. Ladies and gentlemen, here is the popular Southpaw contender ranked the WBC number four contender in the world. Introducing the undefeated phenom known as the towering inferno, Sebastian. [Music] At 6’5 and a half, Sebastian Fondora was a physical anomaly in the super welterweight division. Using his extraordinary height and reach to his advantage, but rather than boxing from a distance, he preferred to fight on the inside and overwhelm opponents with volume and pressure. A left hook landed for Luben. Oh my goodness. Up down goes Luben. Fundora, he’s feeling it. Luben is stunned. Fondora was quickly rising as one of the most exciting fighters in the division, having earned a TKO victory over Jorge Cota in his previous fight. Firing from outside, referee’s getting close. Hard left hand. Referee steps in. A win over Garcia would put him one step closer to a shot at the WBC world title. [Music] [Applause] high work rate as we mentioned and he does have some tricky mobility that he once made 140. He’s almost Anthony Joshua’s height has an 80 in reach this tall a fighter but he will throw it a lot and you talk about the he uses the ring but Fondora you know Fondora is now the the boxer Garcia is the one trying to walk him down. You’re right that’s fascinating. Oh, to his advantage. You know, Garcia almost has to do this, right? He can’t box. He hopes to put on a master class in this huge opportunity. An aggressive start by Sergio Garcia. Some sweet science on the part of Sebastian. Something happened against this big tall fighter. And for Garcia, he hasn’t faced a southpaw in more than eight backwards. you know. Yeah, he’s going to get hit because fedora the reach and I think they accurately and now it’s 65 and a half. In your biggest fight, you have to completely alter who you are. That’s not easy for Garcia and for Fendor. He has been on the sidelines for 200 opponent and you’re six what? 6 in shorter. Here comes Fendor with some nice combinations. And by the way, we did ask him, ever think about basketball? He said Garcia on the right hand by Fendor before he switches stances. Maturing as a fighter and and that he’s really learning the craft. Furo, very common, cool, very methodical from Fondor because again, he’s always going to be the taller man. He’s going to throw punches down. Yeah. Who wanted to fight on the inside. You know, it’s interesting. Even though Fandor is known for that punch. There’s with that right hook. Yeah, I always finish him to the body. Say Fur loves to study tape of older fight this month in this building. Tyson Fury did his best imitation of pro wrestling icon Undertaker to win the trilogy in that last meeting. One of the greatest heavyweight fights in history. Yeah, that was an epic night. You know the this fight has settled into an interesting pattern with lets you get on the inside against them. He just and then he he does his good work as well. There’s a little more that uppercut jack the jaw Garcia by fond reach and now you give yourself an opportunity to throw the overhand right cut around the eye of Garcia. I stand correct is on the big stage of boxing the upset by Sandor Martin on Mikey Garcia. Kiko Martinez over K Galad. And now Garcia wanting to take it to Sebast. Oh, the uppercut misses for Garcia. The right uppercut lands for Fondora. Missed the uppercut. He come back with the hook. There it is. 12 of his 17 wins inside the distance for Garcia. Just 14 of his 33 wins. Nice right hook, left hand down the middle by Fondora. It’s been a good run for Fondor though for the most part. He’s landed some great punches on the inside. Needs to sit down on his punches a little bit more. Combination. We are through five at Staple Center Los Angeles. Not been able to do that against this tall rangy fighter and fond a little bit less accurate. Fendor can land that left uppercut. Almost did. So, he may not be duplicating that. We did mention both of them coming off career-long layoffs. The the stakes and while Sergio Martinez calling Spain home, seconds left in the sixth. And oh, I think Sebastian Fendor is totally in charge of this. times what the judges see is how they score and he’s his fight punches are very clear to see. They’re very long, you know, and and the problem it’s more complicated for Garcia doesn’t do this normally and now all of a sudden he’s forced landed over a hundred of his power shots. To your point, Fondora is a pressure fighter. He is a body puncher and not throwing at the volume we used to either as you would expect. Caught on the break by Fura. Right hand by Garcia, but Fondura opening up a plethora of uppercuts by stairs for Garcia. The right to the body has been a staple in Fondor’s attack. Does land that uppercut, which is unbelievable, but that right uppercut is scored. Pretty good run for Garcia. Maintain the distance. Okay. He wants to go nice and tight. Don’t do that. fight the distance. Let’s go. Punches go basically. And when he does, he knows you’ll be in an uppercut straight lap. He’s landing at will, but Daniel won’t for the team. Uh you got blood all over him. And he said, “Yeah, you know, uh Garcia has so much more experience. 228 rounds as a proto matchup is for Garcia. You know, there are a couple of these rounds. I don’t think they’re going to be that easy to score. Might be, you know, a little closer, but I agree with him. He’s Vora’s probably dead in this. He’s definitely Yeah, twice as many. Fondura with a combination. Now Garcia continues to bring the fight. More formidable foe for Jervante Tank Davis. Used to seeing Fendor, I mean Garcia being the aggressive Pandora boxing. There’s a right hand. Garcia goes to the body and then upstairs with a right family has an interesting approach that the the sparring partners that they get they have it to stay there with them which is intriguing. You don’t see that very often. The penthouse of the 154 lb division as he’s able to get in there. He’s throwing more punches. He’s throwing double the amount of punches of activity coming from him either in this using the jab and that’s a staple normally of his attack. Time again. Round number 10. Round scheduled for 12. You talk about urgency. The platform where you really want to showcase your talent. This is platform where you want to This is not the fight that Garcia ever would fight, but I give Garcia credit. He’s the one trying to make this fight the last three or four rounds. He has these physical advantages. There’s a left hand down the middle that scores for Fondor. And now Fondora going trying to get something started here in this round that’s definitive and landing a nice uppercut. Hear him all the way over here. I want to see from Fondor, but he muted it immediately. You know, he’s the type of guy that will sit there and trade punches with you. So fondura, you know, as much as he’d like or as he should be, but still, you know, he just Pandora with a multiple punch combination. This has been a good round for Fondor. He’s He’s been much more punches, but way less than he’s used to throwing around throughout this fight. That’s been the case. And to the body by Fondor. And right uppercut again for Garcia coming your way. Huzo is going to go at the Staple Center in LA. Exchanges in that last round that were pretty good. A right hand. Both landing punches simultaneously. A right hand by Garcia and a left by Fondor. Now Garcia on the inside. This is that kind of eye-catching uppercut at the end of the round. There’s the last round. The last round. Let’s go for it. Show them your boxing skills. Come on. Let’s go. You got this round to do it. 12th and final round. And you want him to box. That’s intriguing. That’s right. That would be intriguing, wouldn’t it? Yeah. More in this one. Yeah. He is keeping uh things at bay and showing a little lateral movement, which is of course the key, the pivoting and whatever. If you just are made of, you don’t want to go back to the dressing room on this stage on this night. 100%. You don’t want to just go in with the win. You want to impress the I mean, you got to go out there and and put an exclamation point. And the problem here is Garcia is not the kind of puncher that would normally hurt Fondara. So Garcia in terms of the physical dimensions of Fondor. It’s created uh this kind of immutable problem. Nice uppercut by system that extinguishes the towering inferno. Here we are with I think it malfunctioned in that movie, didn’t it? I’m pretty sure and Sergio Garcia wanting an opportunity and a championship. Work guys is the instruction from the referee. Garcia continues to come forward. lands a left, misses with the only from time to time. Oh my god. Garcia lands a left hand and Garcia with the Garcia is not the kind of fighter made for the task he had at hand. Created a less than uh artistic fight from those standpoints. And we’ll look back and we see the the com the work on the inside. Fondora nice combination that that the hook the uppercut and the right hook and did from time to time. And this was the eye-catching left hook, but really, you know, we didn’t deliver it as well as we thought. Do you feel as though your height in this instance was a big advantage? Definitely. Definitely. Especially on the second part of the fight, I felt like that six and 12, uh, we switched up a pace. We started moving a lot more instead of sitting there and trading punches with him that we usually do. All three in favor of the winner of the WBC super welterweight world title eliminator, the towering inferno, Sebastian Fondora.
