Sebastian Fundora, WBC mid -weight champion, says he doesn’t want his re -broadcast against Tim Tszyu on July 19 to be another massacre like their previous year on March 30. One left Fundora (22-1-1, 14 COs) with blood leaking from his nose and mouth from the heavy shots he took from Tszyu.
In the second round, Tim sustained a nasty cut on his forehead to a clash of heads, which made him struggle to look through the blood for the rest of the fight. Fundora finally won by a 12-round decision. The cut that Tszyu maintained enabled him to avoid the setback of the loss.
Fans don’t like Tszyu Rematch
Tszyu (25-2, 18 COs) lost two of his last three fights and probably did not judge a title against Fundora. US fans are not excited about the view of Fundora Fight Tszyu, especially not watching Tim destroy in three rounds by IBF 154-Pond Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev on July 19 in Orlando, Florida.
Tszyu should try to avenge his loss of Bakhram because it was a much worse defeat for him. It seems weak from Tim that he didn’t even choose to try even the score of that blow -out loss. US fans prefer Fundora to defend its WBC title against the interim champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Fundora against Tszyu will fight against Mario Barrios on July 19 on the bottom map of Manny Pacquiao in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be displayed directly on PBC on Prime video Ppv. The price has not yet been unveiled, but it is expected to be between $ 69.95 and $ 79.99.
Zayas fight for wbo
“It’s box. People are entitled to their own opinions. They can say what they want. We are here. We are still a champion. If he wants the WBC he will have to fight for it, ‘Sebastian Fundora told the mediaand respond that he was told that Xander Zayas noted that he did not want to fight against him.
The WBO ordered Fundora to defend its title against the compulsory Xander (21-0, 13 COs). Instead, Fundora has evacuated his WBO belt and will fight against a re -broadcast with Tszyu. Zayas will now fight on #2 Jorge Garcia Perez (33-4, 26 COs) for the vacant WBO Junior Middle Weight title on July 26 at the Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York.
“It’s very nice, very honorable,” Fundora said of the fight on the bottom map of Manny Pacquiao against Mario Barrios on July 19. “We did some main events ourselves. I set up my own pay-pervention last year, but now we have a man like Pacquiao coming in. So, fighting on a map with Pacquiao is pretty good. We are doing the right thing. ‘
Fundora fighting on the Pacquiao-Barrios bottom map is still not a good look as he is an elite fighter. Pacquiao is 46, past his lead, and has not fought in four years since 2021. WBC Welterweight Champion Barrios is seen as a paper champion on 147.
Fundora: No Repeating Lightning Bath
“I don’t want it. Not my type, “Fundora said when asked if he still wanted a bloody war in his re -broadcast with Tszyu, like their collision last March 30, causing both fighters to bleed.
