The co-main event will have WBA super lightweight world champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero (15-1, 13 KOs), from Las Vegas, making his first title defense, against Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz (25-2-1, 17 KOs), from Mexico City.

The PPV.COM Tszyu – Fundora world championship event live stream will once again feature Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Lampley, who will be paired with award-winning journalist Lance Pugmire, co-hosting an exclusive viewer chat in real time.

“Obviously the near-last minute switch from Keith Thurman to Sebastian Fundora renders some of the style specifics of Tim Tszyu’s preparation null or inappropriate,” said Lampley. “Fundora is physically different, stylistically different, generationally different and competitively different than Keith Thurman. So now it’s a new fight for Tszyu with a week and a half to adjust. He’s still a heavy favorite, and he’ll have to accept that he gets less credit for the win in what may well be a tougher fight. But that’s boxing. Some memorable upsets have emerged from circumstances like this, but they are memorable because they are so rare. There’s no logical reason yet to see this as less than perfunctory for Tim Tszyu.”
PPV.COM, which does not require a subscription, will offer Tszyu vs. Fundora in the U.S. and Canada. iNDEMAND, the parent company of PPV.COM, will also be carrying the event through its network of cable and telco operators in the U.S. and Canada via providers including: Xfinity, Spectrum, Contour, Optimum, Fios, Rogers, Bell, SaskTel, and Telus, among others.
