Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman Review, Stoppage Debate & What Comes Next at 154
<p>Sebastian Fundora made Keith Thurman look old, overwhelmed and outgunned - but how much did this win really tell us about the top of the super welterweight division?</p><p>Watch more episodes and connect via<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RadioRahimHere"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@RadioRahimHere</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SeanZittel"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@SeanZittel</u></a></p><p>In this episode of About That Action, Radio Rahim and Sean Zittel break down Sebastian Fundora’s dominant stoppage win over Keith Thurman and ask the bigger questions coming out of the fight. Yes, Fundora looked sharper, more controlled and more mature, with better distance management, tighter punch selection and a growing ability to stay defensively responsible while piling on pressure. But this is not just a simple victory lap. </p><p>The conversation digs into what version of Keith Thurman actually showed up, whether the performance says more about Fundora’s development or Thurman’s decline, and why the wider 154lb picture is still far from settled. </p><p>The episode also opens up a strong debate around Fundora’s best next move, with Spence, Charlo, Ortiz, Ennis and Zayas all entering the conversation, before closing on the controversial sixth-round stoppage and whether Keith Thurman was unfairly denied the right to go out on his shield.</p><p>Key Moments:</p><p>0:00 – Fundora steamrolls Thurman and the early reaction to the win</p><p>02:03 – Why Rahim says the praise needs context</p><p>03:20 – Thurman’s game plan and why he could not execute it</p><p>07:00 – Fundora’s size, pressure and why Thurman looked overwhelmed</p><p>09:00 – How Fundora has improved defensively and technically</p><p>13:19 – How much should we really take from this performance</p><p>15:00 – Why this was the right fight for Fundora at the right time</p><p>16:00 – Should Fundora face Charlo, Spence, Ortiz, Ennis or Zayas next?</p><p>21:10 – Why Charlo still matters at 154 despite the inactivity</p><p>24:14 – The argument against soft matchmaking when a fighter is peaking</p><p>30:10 – Why Spence could still be a valuable name and learning fight</p><p>34:02 – The Xs and Os that showed Fundora’s IQ is improving</p><p>38:34 – Keith Thurman’s stoppage complaint and whether the referee got it right</p><p>46:47 – Referee vs corner: who should have protected Thurman?</p><p>51:04 – Sean and Rahim pay tribute to Keith Thurman’s career and personality</p>

Moses Itauma vs Jermaine Franklin Review PLUS Future Heavyweight King Debate
<p>Moses Itauma stopped Jermaine Franklin in five rounds and looked every bit like the next big thing in the heavyweight division.</p><p>Radio Rahim and Sean Zittel break down the performance, the hand speed, the punch selection, the future world title talk, and whether boxing is moving too fast in crowning Itauma the next king.</p><p>Watch more episodes and connect via:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RadioRahimHere"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@RadioRahimHere</u></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SeanZittel"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@SeanZittel</u></a></p><p>In this episode of About That Action, Radio Rahim and Sean Zittel react to Moses Itauma’s dominant stoppage win over Jermaine Franklin and ask the big question boxing fans are already debating: are we looking at the future ruler of the heavyweight division, or are people getting carried away too quickly?</p><p> Sean is all in on Itauma, praising the fluidity, the step-backs, the feints, the body work, the hand speed and the kind of technical maturity you almost never see from a 21-year-old heavyweight. Jermaine Franklin had never previously been stopped and had gone hard rounds with Anthony Joshua, which only makes Itauma’s control and finish look even more impressive.</p><p>But Rahim brings the balance. Yes, the performance was elite. Yes, the knockout was clinical. Yes, Itauma passed the eye test with flying colours. But the heavyweight division is not short on talent, and there are still names like Usyk, Dubois, Wardley and Kabayel further along the road. The conversation becomes less about hype and more about timing, matchmaking and the dangers of placing a crown on a fighter before he has had to earn it against the very best. </p><p>There is also real appreciation for the job Queensberry is doing in building heavyweight contenders properly and creating meaningful fights in a division that suddenly feels loaded with intrigue again. So this is not just a review of a one-sided stoppage. It is a wider debate about projection versus proof, hype versus substance, and what it really takes to become the next heavyweight king.</p><p><br>Key Moments:</p><p>0:00 – Moses Itauma stops Jermaine Franklin and Sean goes all in on the hype</p><p>02:43 – The speed, feints and punch selection that overwhelmed Franklin</p><p>04:16 – Why Rahim likes Itauma’s path but refuses to crown him yet</p><p>06:14 – The uppercut finish, killer instinct and what the knockout proved</p><p>10:10 – Why the heavyweight division is too deep to hand Itauma the throne already</p><p>13:01 – Sean compares the moment to Mike Tyson’s rise through the division</p><p>17:03 – Rahim explains why potential means nothing until it survives pressure</p><p>23:01 – Itauma’s personality, media handling and growth outside the ring</p><p>27:43 – The injury setback, Frank Warren’s role and the lessons of experience</p><p>32:51 – The Xs and Os: body work, distance control, ring generalship and the finish</p><p>36:44 – Why Franklin’s reaction in the corner may be the biggest compliment of all</p>
