Tszyu Set to Prevail in Biggest Test vs Fundora
Tszyu vs Fundora Odds
Australia’s Tim Tszyu puts his unbeaten streak on the line against his toughest opponent yet, Sebastian Fundora.
Tszyu vs Fundora odds have the current WBO Welterweight champion at -500 odds, so he’s expected to come through.
However, Fundora is a 20-1-1 fighter, and he could provide bettors with a value win at generous odds.
Tszyu Becoming a Complete Fighter
At 24-0, the 29-year-old Australian is set to headline many more boxing events in the US.
Fighting in Las Vegas for the first time could unnerve many fighters, but Tszyu’s professionalism shouldn’t be questioned.
He has handled everything that has come his way, including following in the footsteps of his famous father, Kostya.
The top-ranked welterweight in the world comes off a decision win against Brian Mendoza, and although it wasn’t a knockout, it was his most impressive win.
Mendoza is no joke, and it was a comfortable decision victory. It followed a knockout win over Carlos Ocampo, which firmly put Tszyu on the world stage.
He’s not worried by the massive height advantage Fundora has.
“This fight is all about awkwardness when you have someone that tall, but nothing phases me. It is what it is, and the show goes on. It’s a legacy-defining type of fight,” Tszyu said.
“I’ve met Fundora before, and I respect him and how he fights. I just have to find the right shots. Every great boxer finds the way to win, and we’ll find those keys on March 30.”
Tszyu vs Fundora odds are giving him plenty of respect, and rightfully so. He’s the best boxer in his division, and the -500 odds could have been shorter.
It’s about the best fight odds you’ll see for Tszyu, who usually attracts plenty of attention with boxing markets on fight night.
Not There for Fun
Fundora is a quality fighter in his own right, and although he doesn’t look strong, he packs a punch.
The 26-year-old American has 13 wins by knockout, but his last KO win came in 2021 against Jorge Cota.
His form since has been only fair, including a loss to Brian Mendoza by knockout. Tszyu has already beaten Mendoza, so to get knocked out is tough to come back from.
We have never favored fighters in their first fight back after getting floored. That’s the case for Fundora, who needs to put that loss in the back of his mind.
His record boxing is solid at 20-1-1, but he’s about to face the best in the world, and that could be too much for him.
As Tszyu vs Fundora odds suggest, the outsider could struggle. He’s a +350 chance to pull off the upset, and his height could get it done.
He’s the much taller fighter, so Tszyu will need to get close, which could prove difficult. Fundora should sit on the outside of his range and pick his spots, but winning the fight by adopting that tactic is tough.
Tszyu by KO
We’re opting to overlook at Tszyu vs Fundora odds for head-to-head markets.
Instead, we’re locking in Tszyu to win by KO, TKO or DQ. Given his power advantage, we think he will land the telling blow on the chin on Fundora.
The same chin that was weakened by Mendoza, and Mendora isn’t as good as Tszyu, so bettors should be confident.
Bettors get -225 for Tszyu to win by knockout, and those odds are worth including. We see him getting Fundora out of the ring, and it could come in the middle rounds.
We’re happy to include Tszyu to win in Round 6 at +900. It’s a tough bet to cash, but the odds are worth the risk.
