Gabriela Fundora TKO6 Viviana Ruiz Corredor... American star Gabriela “Sweet Poison” Fundora successfully defended her undisputed world flyweight championship by stopping Colombia’s Viviana Ruiz Corredor (10-3) in the sixth round. The bout took place on  Saturday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, and goes down as a  technical knockout that further cemented the 23 year-old southpaw as the sport's defining force in the female 112-pound division. From the opening bell, Fundora (18-0) made full use of her height and reach advantages to dictate the tempo. Behind a sharp jab and left-hand combinations, the champion kept Ruiz Corredor at long range, repeatedly frustrating her attempts to close the distance and work on the inside. While Ruiz Corredor displayed admirable courage and managed to land a few solid shots in the early exchanges, the champion’s steady, punishing offense began to take a visible toll.

 

The turning point came in the fourth round, when Fundora dropped the challenger with a right hook followed by an uppercut. Though the Colombian rose bravely and continued, the disparity in power and accuracy proved insurmountable. In the sixth round, a sustained barrage left Ruiz Corredor defenseless against the ropes, and the referee stepped in to halt the contest at the 2:52 mark.
