Sebastian Fundora took a significant leap in his rising career following a stunningly one-sided 6th round stoppage of normally durable Nathaniel Gallimore in their junior middleweight bout. The crossroads bout—which aired Saturday evening live on Fox from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles—saw Fundora force an aggressive pace and grow stronger with each passing round before referee Jerry Cantu intervened midway through round six.

Sebastian Fundora has always literally stood head and shoulders above the rest of the junior middleweight division. The latest performance by the 22-year old prospect puts him squarely in the mix of rising young talent to watch. Fundora racked up his best win to date, stopping Chicago’s Nathaniel Gallimore inside of six rounds Saturday evening live on Fox from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California.
The amount of convincing it took Sebastian Fundora to agree to a fight with Nathaniel Gallimore was probably his shortest professional conversation. “They asked if I’m ready to fight and I said yes,” Fundora (14-0-1, 9KOs) told BoxingScene.com. “People ask why I want to fight a tough guy like Gallimore. I always want tough fights. I’m a fighter, I’ll bump with anyone.”
