Via Chris Williams: Sebastian ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora (20-0-1, 13 KOs) looked terrible as he struggled to beat former Errol Spence victim, in round 1, knockout Carlos Ocampo (34-2, 22 KOs) ) by a unanimous decision in round 12. Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora should consider delaying his title fight against undisputed young middleweight champion Jermell Charlo for another year until he improves on his weaknesses. Fundora’s shot is poor, his outside game is weak, and his decision-making is faulty.
First, Fundora’s protection wasn’t found all night, and he allowed a very average boxer in Ocampo to land arbitrarily against him, making it a much closer fight to the point. generous number assigned by the three judges.
Scores:
In the way that the tall 6’5 ″ Fundora fights, he will be food for Jermell Charlo, Tony Harrison, Tim Tszyu, Brian Castano, Danny Garcia and Israil Madrimov.
Fundora looks as if he has regressed from how he performed in his previous fight against Erickson Lubin. I don’t know if he was told by his coaching staff to avoid a collision with Ocampo, but it was his mistake because he was counter-attacked repeatedly when the Mexican boxer was on the field. in the early rounds.
Ocampo made the mistake of choosing to fight Fundora on the inside instead of keeping the action on the outside, where he was ripping him off.
If Fundora can’t develop his stab into a weapon, then he needs to keep working inside.
“I felt for the first four innings, I wanted to box because I wanted not only myself but also my father and everyone else to see that we could box. We did it in the whole camp. Boxing, boxing, boxing a lot of scope,” Fundora said at his post-match press conference following his win over Ocampo last Saturday night.
“I felt it was a bit slow for me, and I wanted to excite the fans a little bit more and be worth their money. We went in there, smashed it, and did the usual ‘Towering Inferno’. We made the fans go crazy, and we got the job done.
“Winner [Jermell] Charlo and [Tim] Tszyyu, hopefully, or anyone in the top 10. I would pick any of them,” Fundora said when asked who he wants to fight next.
