Sebastian Fundora Wanted To Give Fans ‘Their Money’s Worth’ In Fight Against Carlos Ocampo

Sebastian Fundora wanted his fight against Carlos Ocampo to be an exciting one and one that fans would be talking about.

Fundora was defending his interim WBC lightweight middleweight title for the first time against Ocampo in California on Saturday. It was an intriguing matchup as the 24-year-old in Fundora has looked very impressive but this was truly a tough test for him that he passed as he got a decision win.

Although Sebastian Fundora didn’t get the stoppage win he wanted, he says he wanted to excite the fans and hopes he did just that.

“I felt like in the first four rounds I boxed because I wanted to not just show myself but my father and everyone else that we could box. We’d been doing that the whole camp, boxing, boxing, lots of range,” Fundora said at the post-fight press conference. “But I felt it was moving a little too slow for me and I wanted to excite the fans, you know, give them their money’s worth, and we went in there and we banged, we did the normal Towering Inferno style and we got the fans riled up.”

Throughout the fight, Carlos Ocampo was taking all the shots and was showing off his heart and toughness which added to the bout. According to Fundora, he says he knew Ocampo had something to prove which is why he expected this to be a tough fight.

“I knew he was gonna come out with a big heart, probably a bigger heart than anybody I fought because he (had) something to prove,” said Fundora. “I’m pretty sure he was enjoying the fight as much as me. It was a great fight for the fans as well.”

With the win over Ocampo, Fundora improved to 20-0-1 as a pro and in his career, he also has notable wins over Sergio Garcia, Erickson Lubin, Jorge Cota, and Daniel Lewis among others.
