Sebastian Fundora dominates Keith Thurman, retaining his WBC junior middleweight title with a sixth-round TKO at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. This victory marks Fundora's third successful title defense. Standing at 6-foot-5½, Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KOs) leverages his size to control the fight, keeping the 5-foot-9½ Thurman (31-2, 23 KOs) at bay with effective jabs and punishing body shots. Despite a strong start, Thurman struggles to land meaningful punches as Fundora's relentless pressure overwhelms him. The fight turns decisive in the sixth round when referee Thomas Taylor halts the bout at 1:17, as Fundora unleashes unanswered strikes. Fundora asserts his dominance, stating, "I am the best 154." With a stacked junior middleweight division, he signals that he's ready for any challenger.
