Fundora defends titles against Booker Saturday night
Sebastian Fundora will defend his unified junior middleweight titles against Chordale Booker this Saturday night. Fundora, who has a record of 21 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, earned his titles last year by defeating Tim Tszyu. He surprised many by winning the fight, as he was not initially set to compete for the vacant WBC title. Fundora is known for his height and reach in the 154-pound division. Booker, with a record of 23 wins and 1 loss, is looking for his biggest chance yet. Although he lost to Austin "Ammo" Williams early in his career, he has since won six matches. All of these victories came against less well-known opponents. The undercard includes several interesting fights. Elijah Garcia, who recently suffered his first loss, will face veteran Terrell Gausha. Another matchup features Jesus Ramos Jr. going up against Guido Emmanuel Schramm. Ramos recently won his fight by TKO. Fundora is heavily favored to win against Booker, with odds listed at -1400 for Fundora and +750 for Booker. Some experts believe these odds are too wide, noting that Booker could be a live underdog. However, Fundora’s experience and size give him a strong advantage. Predictions suggest Fundora will win by TKO in the ninth round.
