Sebastian Fundora vs. Ermal Hadribeaj on October 17th looks like a mismatch.
First off, the fight is a light one.
Fundora is coming off big victories against the likes of Tim Tszyu and Keith Thurman at 154 pounds.
The American needs big fights, not this, some notes;
- Fundora defends his title against Hadribeaj on October 17
- Oddsmakers have Fundora as a massive favorite
- Fundora is a towering power puncher with wins over Tszyu, Thurman
- Hadribeaj has only 8 KOs in 25 fights—no power threat
- He’s faced significantly lower-level opposition
- Fundora’s height and reach keep him on the jab all night
- This is a “stay busy” tune-up, not a competitive defense
- Fundora thrives fighting in Las Vegas
- Win sets up a massive undisputed clash with Ennis
- Hadribeaj lacks speed and volume to trouble Fundora
To be fighting some Albanian nobody, Fundora from America, this is shocking stuff from him.
Boxing is flying and massively popular again but not because of terrible matchmaking like this.
This is a big mistake.
