Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora Gets Off The Floor, Stops Erickson Lubin in Nine Rounds

[South Champion]

Just don't think Fudora has any chance vs Charlo. Fundora should be using his reach but doesn't. If he thought Lubin hit him hard, wait until he deals with Charlo. These pressure fighters like Fundora, Paul Williams, Figueora, etc can beat most until they deal with the top fighters and get beaten. Could be a tough lesson for Fundora when/if he gets a chance at Charlo.

Fundora suffers from that Paul Williams problem of not using their height & reach properly. Paul Williams got far, he was the #3 P4P behind Mayweather & Pac, both of whom never said his name, but Sergio Martinez made him pay for not using his height by brutally knocking him out. I can't forget seeing Paul Williams lying on the canvas with both of his eyes wide open. If Fundora uses that 6'6" height and 6'8" wingspan, he'll be difficult for anyone in his division.

Jermell isn't a very busy fighter though...he does a lot of waiting until he gets the KO opportunity, often giving away the first half of fights.

Fundora is gonna be in his face with 3-4 pieces all night. If Jermell can't knock him out, I can't see him winning that fight. Jermell is gonna get a lot of trouble from the very busy opponent in the rematch coming up. Too many rounds of inactivity.

You are crazy if you think he can do his Robert Easter and Paul Williams impression with Jermell Charlo loading up and tagging him, I just don't know what to think. With so much stuff coming out and looking at Lubin as early as the 2nd round, I don't know what to believe now. Lubin is very high level vs. all of his opponents but Lubin just starts to bust as early as the 2nd round. Kid has zero histories of scar tissue like Gabe.

Lubin is rated #1 and Fundora is rated #2. The Charlo-Castano winner is likely vacating and moving up to middleweight, so Lubin and Fundora were allowed to fight for the interim world championship.

#3 is Tszyu, who is WBO mandatory and likely to be removed from the WBC ratings soon.

Garcia is #4 and Harrison is #5. The winner of that fight was likely to become the top rated contender once the Lubin-Fundora winner was upgraded from interim world champion to full world champion, so Garcia and Harrison were allowed to fight for the silver championship.

Ah, ok. Still a little ridiculous but I understand. Thanks for the breakdown. What's the other wbc belt that fundora has tho, some minor domestic belt or something?

I'm not sure. I've seen some people say he won the WBC youth title at some point, but boxrec only lists one fight of his for the WBC youth title when it was vacant and that fight ended in a draw.
