What’s At Stake: Fundora’s WBC and WBO Junior Middleweight Championships
Analysis: Sebastian Fundora’s return comes after a roller-coaster stretch in his career. The 6’6” southpaw rebounded from his shocking knockout loss to Brian Mendoza with a disciplined win over Tim Tszyu, where his volume punching and awkward angles secured him the unified junior middleweight throne. Now, the “Towering Inferno” faces a stylistic puzzle in Chordale “The Gift” Booker.
Booker, a well-schooled boxer out of Stamford, Connecticut, has been knocking on the door of a world title shot for years. A southpaw like Fundora, he has quick hands, solid defensive instincts, and enough power to command respect. His lone loss—a first-round stoppage against Austin Williams—was an anomaly in his otherwise disciplined career.
The key questions: Can Booker navigate Fundora’s relentless pressure and freakish reach? Can Fundora handle a pure boxer who won’t stand in front of him and trade?
Expect Booker to use movement and angles early, working behind his jab to create openings. Fundora, meanwhile, will press forward with his signature phone-booth warfare, looking to wear Booker down with uppercuts and body shots.
Gambling Odds
Fundora: -1450 ML, -210 KO/TKO, +220 Decision.
Booker: +740 ML, +950 KO/TKO, +1800 Decision.
Total Rounds: Over 9.5 at -108, Under 9.5 at -118.
Fight To Go The Distance: Yes at +190, No at -260.
Total Knockdowns: Over 0.5 at -320, Under 0.5 at +210; Over 1.5 at +115, Under 1.5 at -175.
Final Thoughts: This fight is much closer than the odds suggest. Booker has the skills to frustrate Fundora, and if the champ doesn’t make adjustments, we could see a razor-close decision. Fundora’s pressure should eventually pay off, but a war of attrition could lead to an inconclusive result.
Prediction: Draw
Jesus Ramos (22-1, 18 KOs) vs. Guido Emmanuel Schramm (16-3-2, 9 KOs)

What’s At Stake: No title at stake.
Analysis: Jesus Ramos is one of the best young punchers in the 154-pound division. At just 24 years old, he has an old-school pressure-fighting style and legitimate knockout power. However, his momentum was halted in a shocking upset loss to Erickson Lubin, where his output and aggression disappeared. With back-to-back wins against Johan González and Jeison Rosario, Ramos looks to continue to reestablish himself against the tough Guido Emmanuel Schramm.
Schramm, a rugged Argentine fighter, has a reputation for durability and toughness. He has been stopped once, but his grinding style often forces opponents to go the full distance. That said, he’s taking a huge step up in competition against Ramos.
Ramos will look to start fast, using his heavy hands to break Schramm down early. Schramm’s best bet is to weather the storm, survive the first half of the fight, and test Ramos’ gas tank down the stretch.
Gambling Odds
Ramos: -300 ML, -310 KO/TKO, +270 Decision.
Schramm: +890 ML, +2100 KO/TKO, +2400 Decision.
Fight To Go The Distance: Yes at +240, No at -330.
Final Thoughts: Ramos will be looking to make a statement. Schramm is tough, but he has never faced a puncher of Ramos’ caliber. Expect a knockout.
Prediction: Ramos KO/TKO
Elijah García (16-1, 13 KOs) vs. Terrell Gausha (24-4-1, 12 KOs)

What’s At Stake: No title at stake.
Analysis: Elijah García’s rapid rise in the middleweight division hit a roadblock when he suffered his first pro defeat at the hands of Kyrone Davis. The 21-year-old phenom is an explosive southpaw with power in both hands and an aggressive style. Against a battle-tested veteran like Terrell Gausha, he’ll need to show more patience and ring IQ.
Gausha, a 2012 Olympian, has fought a who’s who of the 154- and 160-pound divisions. While he has struggled against elite opposition, he remains a difficult puzzle due to his experience, timing, and counterpunching ability.
Gausha’s clearest path to victory is making García hesitate—using feints, movement, and precise counters to disrupt the younger fighter’s rhythm. García, on the other hand, will aim to overwhelm Gausha with volume and power, targeting the body to slow him down before unloading upstairs.
Gambling Odds
García: -650 ML, +175 KO/TKO, -115 Decision.
Gausha: +410 ML, +1100 KO/TKO, +600 Decision.
Fight To Go The Distance: Yes at -200, No at +154.
Final Thoughts: Gausha is a savvy veteran, but he has slowed down. García’s power and pace should wear him out late.
Prediction: García KO/TKO

Freudis Rojas Jr. (14-0, 11 KOs) vs. Maurice Lee (15-1-2, 6 KOs), 8 rounds, welterweight
