Sebastian Fundora vs. Keith Thurman – results and post-fight report
Sebastian Fundora defended his WBC super welterweight title after a brutal sixth-round stoppage of Keith Thurman in Las Vegas.
Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KO) defeated former welterweight champion Thurman (31-2, 23 KO) by submission after six one-sided rounds at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“The Towering Inferno,” who had a nine-inch height advantage over Thurman, set up the fight within the first 10 seconds, with a crunching left hand landing on the challenger’s chin.
“One Time” boxed carefully from the outside, but in the second round the 37-year-old had problems, bending his knees with his left hand.
Thurman, who defeated Brock Jarvis by third-round knockout last March, had some success in the third round, but as Fundora marched forward, he was caught with combinations.
Fundora forced Thurman to trade with him and landed at least two significant uppercuts in the fourth round, pushing for an early knockout.
Thurman has only been defeated once in his career in 2019 by Manny Pacquiao on points, he had the defeat from the first break in his mind when he was met with a fierce attack in the fifth round.
Thurman promised to put on a similar display to Brian Mendoza when he knocked out Fundora in 2023, and the Florida fighter went all out in search of a knockout.

Just before the start of the sixth round, the ring doctor examined Thurman, with his left eye flooding with blood, and although he was allowed to continue the fight, he was caught with a series of punches, forcing referee Thomas Taylor to stop the fight.
The 28-year-old successfully defended his crown for the third time with the largest scalp in his 26-fight professional career.
“It was a lot easier than I expected,” he said after the fight.
“I was a little nervous today.

“He’s such a massive name. Such a great fighter.
“But we got on the field and I remembered as soon as we got in the ring, this is my world, you’re in my world.”
Fundora, which stopped Tim Tszyu in a seventh-round rematch in July, may target the winner of the likely fight between unified WBO and WBA champions Xander Zayas and Jaron Ennis, which is expected to be officially announced soon.
Tellez survives the Mendoza test
In a bloody fight, Yoenis Tellez defeated Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision in a thrilling super welterweight bout.
Tellez (12-1, 8 KO) faced stern adversity in the third round after an accidental headbutt that left him writhing in pain and blood pouring from his nose.
This seemed to encourage the Cuban to exchange fire, and Mendoza (23-5, 17 KO) gave it his all.

Mendoza was then cut in the left eye after an accidental headbutt in the eighth round.
The judges awarded Tellez’s accuracy with two scores of 98-92 and a third score of 97-93.
Hernandez stops Gausha
Yoenli Hernandez moved closer to his maiden middleweight world title shot, defeating Terrell Gausha (24-6-1, 12 KO) in the fourth round.
Hernandez (10-0, 9 KO) was in full control and a challenging right hand prompted the referee to intervene, although it seemed the stoppage was far too early.

Hovhannisyan stops Navarro
Gurgen Hovhannisyan (10-0, 9 KO) continued his undefeated streak, defeating Cesar Navarro (15-4, 13 KO) in the fifth round.
The Armenian heavyweight is ranked eighth in the WBA rankings in his pursuit of unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
