Gabriela Fundora Breaks Down Alexas Kubicki in 7, Retains Undisputed Flyweight Crown

A Strategic Mismatch

Kubicki (13-2, 2 KOs) came in with ambition and a clear strategy: close the distance, rough up Fundora in the pocket, and neutralize her length. But what looked good on paper quickly unraveled.

Fundora (17-0, 9 KOs), towering for the weight class, used her long frame to keep the challenger off balance. Each time Kubicki pressed forward, she was met with stiff jabs and punishing combinations. By Round 2, Fundora had adjusted to Kubicki’s attempts at pressure, digging to the body and snapping her head back with an overhand right that set the tone for the rest of the night.

Breaking Her Down

From the third round onward, the fight settled into a pattern: Kubicki’s aggression blunted by Fundora’s precision. The champion’s body work forced Kubicki to retreat, and her inability to mount meaningful offense allowed Fundora to dictate the pace.

By the fourth, concern was showing in the Canadian’s corner as their fighter absorbed clean shots with little defensive response. Her head movement was limited, and her punches lacked the sting to keep Fundora honest.

The referee issued a stern warning before the seventh, signaling that Kubicki’s survival was hanging by a thread. Less than a minute into the round, a thudding combination from Fundora forced the stoppage a mercy call as the outcome had long been inevitable.

What’s Next?

With another dominant performance, the lingering question grows louder: Who can challenge Gabriela Fundora?

Already the undisputed queen at flyweight, she has turned away every opponent with increasing ease. While Claressa Shields continues to hold her claim to pound-for-pound supremacy, the younger Fundora’s blend of size, skill, and spiteful finishing ability makes her a nightmare matchup for anyone daring to share the ring.

For now, the division and perhaps the sport is left to wonder if anyone can slow her rise.
