    And Sebastian could totally fight Tim after his fight with Mell is all said and done.

Plus, Sebastian would be a good option for Jermell after he fights Tszyu. Let’s try to build some demand for this until both guys have to give in to the pressure.
      Jermell ibf mandatory is due after the tszyu fight.

      So unless jermell vacates, fundora is gonna be waiting a while

          Not saying he should stop attempting to fight at the phone booth since having that kind of reach also bring advantages when infighting, just make use of his natural physical advantages.

          Yet because he refuses to implement wrinkles to his game he is vulnerable of getting knocked out against lesser opposition. Imagine if he used his freakishly long jab to keep opponents at bay or use it to close the distance.

          Or added basic head movement will do wonders for him since connecting flush against a much taller opponent is already difficult.

            Exactly. Learn more strategies and find more ways to use his natural gifts and he could really be something.

              A trainer pointed out to me that the reason he fights close is because he doesn't have the reaction/reflexes and had poor vision so he prefers to be in closer where he can feel his opponent. I thought the same thing you thought until he pointed that out.

                A shame that he’s not allowed to wear contact lenses in the ring.

                  He should get Lasik eye surgery then even if it takes a whole year, fighting at such disadvantage would put him in literal danger of risking his life.

                  No professional boxer can wear contacts inside a professional bout.

                  Whether he has slow reflexes it is something that can be somewhat worked upon even if it is not completely fixed by improving upon his current skillset, getting better at making adjustments depending on his opponent's style or gameplan and implementing skills that will help him in the long run.

                    Totally agree with you
                    Who’s his trainer anyways , I don’t seem to recall
                    But as you stated there are ways to correct it somewhat and adapt to your opponent
                    Must be fughed up to have that viewing disadvantage , I’m going through it right now with eyesight
                    Always had 20/20 vision and it just caught me off guard so can understand what a disadvantage it can be

                      His trainer is his father Freddy Fundora who had a brief career as a professional boxer.

                      He is also training Elias Araujo (21-5-0) who's in a losing streak and Starling Castillo (17-1-0).

                      If he brought another trainer to his corner, it would likely help him a lot like Rubio who's currently training Teofimo Lopez.
