Fundora batters Tszyu to retain WBC superwelter crown

Sebastian Fundora defeated Australia’s Tim Tszyu by technical knockout to retain his World Boxing Council super-welterweight crown in Las Vegas on Saturday.A bruising,

action-packed scrap at the MGM Grand Garden Arena ended when a bloodied Tszyu stopped working to come out for the 8th round.Advertisement Fundora– who had actually beaten Tszyu

in their first meeting in 2015– as soon as again used his imposing 6ft 6in( 1.98 m)frame and big reach benefit to dominate the brief, stocky Australian.Tszyu was quickly in problem, tore down by Fundora in

the first round by a crisp left hand, and ended up the second round with a nasty cut over his best eye.Although Tszyu battled bravely, jolting Fundora with some trembling

right-hands in the center rounds, the American continued to land damaging punches.The end followed the seventh, when a weary Tszyu declined to come out for the next

round.” I provided it whatever however I simply couldn’t do it,”Tszyu stated later on.”Triumph comes from Sebastian Fundora– he’s the very best 154-pounder in the world right now.Advertisement” He was the much better male. He’s really hard to land, and he’s high … I seemed like I was shadow boxing with myself

at times. It is what it is.”Fundora, 27, who improved to 23-1-1, with 15 knockouts, said he had been determined to exploit his advantages of height and reach

.”I seemed like clearly I’m the larger guy, and everyone’s calling me a bully– so you know what, let’s start bullying these guys,” Fundora said.rcw/ js
