Junior middleweight Sebastian Fundora (15-0-1, 10 KOs) put on a dominant performance on FOX last night, easily treating Nathaniel Gallimore (21-5-1, 17 KOs) over six rounds of action before the fight was mercilessly waved by the referee.
Fundora, who is a reasonable height for a 154-pound, did not really fight to his height, but last night he certainly did not rise although he worked on the inside over Gallimore with repeated capital letters and hooks to go with the occasion right left hand. Gallimore came into the fight seemingly aware that he needed the distance to have a chance against Fundora, but even that did not work to his advantage.
By the sixth round, Fundora was just starting at Gallimore, and a few more well-placed shots damaged Gallimore badly. At that point, Gallimore was nicely beaten and the referee stepped in to officially weigh the fight on the mark of 1:28 minutes. BLH had Fundora up 49-46 on our scorecard at the time of stopping.
