Fundora, the tallest champion in boxing despite fighting at just 154 pounds, used his reach brillaintly throughout the fight, peppering Tszyu with jabs as well as straight left hands that seemed as though they could not miss.

Tim Tszyu has suffered his third professional defeat, going down to Sebastian Fundora who defended the belt he won from the Australian in a blood-stained thriller last year. Tszyu's corner waved off the contest before the eighth-round.
