In the co-main event, Sebastian Fundora attempted the second defence of his WBC super welterweight title against Tim Tszyu. The fight was a rematch of their March 2024 fight, where Fundora defeated Tszyu by split decision to capture the belt.
The rematch played out in a vastly different manner. Fundora, the taller fighter, fought behind the jab and scored a knockdown in Round 1 with a left straight. Tszyu survived and continued to offer resistance, but could not work around Fundora's jab. The champion continued to break Tszyu down systematically, and inflicted significant damage, particularly in Round 7.
Tszyu's corner decided to stop the fight and he did not walk out for Round 8. As a result, Fundora was declared the winner by T/KO (corner stoppage), retaining the title in dominant fashion.
Elsewhere, Brandon Figueroa and Isaac Cruz defeated Joet Gonzalez and Omar Salcido Gamez, respectively, on the scorecards.
