Sebastian Fundora is a true super welterweight sensation, and his figure is increasingly in demand for big events. On this occasion, as head of the bill, he will try to consolidate his position as interim champion in a category that has Jermell Charlo as the undisputed figure and unified champion.
Fundora intimidates with his height, unusual for 154 pounds: he stands at 6’3″, which is why he is nicknamed The Tower of Hell. With such size and a remarkable arm reach, this southpaw forces his opponents to have to fight hand-to-hand.
In 2022 he found his first great achievement: he conquered the interim super welterweight title by defeating Erickson Lubin, although he lost in the seventh round, which raised some alarm bells about his resistance when he takes a punch.
Carlos Ocampo
- Odd: +550
- Fights: 35
- Victories: 34
- Victories by KO: 22
- Defeats: 1
- Draws: 0
Like all classic Mexican fighters, Carlos Ocampo started his professional career at a very young age, at 16 years old. That is why today, a decade later, he looks like a veteran of a thousand battles. However, the Baja California native has had a solid career in his home country and is now facing a new big opportunity in his life: fighting in the United States on the main card against one of the current top prospects.
He already did it four years ago and failed in the attempt. Of course, it was against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of the moment, American Errol Spence Jr. There, he was knocked out in the first round.
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge and now the Mexican has a new chance to achieve a victory that puts him back in the great evenings.
JefeBet Prediction
Undoubtedly, the longer arm reach and the 20 centimeters advantage make Sebastian Fundora the favorite to win the fight. Carlos Ocampo will have to prevail in the short distance if he wants to have a chance to win. However, at JefeBet we see the longliner as the winner before we get to the cards.
Prediction: Sebastian Fundora wins by KOT.
