VERONA, NEW YORK - The co-main event saw two Super Featherweights - former WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas "Axe Man" Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KOs) -- wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge's cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.
"I am in total shock. I was never in any danger, never hurt," Walters said. "[Sosa] is a good fighter -- the kind of fight I wanted -- but I thought I won all the rounds. So surprised this happened to me."
"I thought I won and am disappointed it was a draw," Sosa said. "I worked hard, I really thought I won the fight."
In the HBO Latino Boxing main event light heavyweight Vyacheslav "Lion Heart - Chigonsky" Shabranskyy (15-0, 12 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact slugging out a majority decision over Yuneski Gonzalez (16-2, 12 KOs) in an action-packed brawl that saw both fighters land huge shots throughout the fight.
"This fight was the most important and most exciting fight of my career," said Shabranskyy. I did feel a lot of Gonzalez' punches but I also feel like I hurt him -- especially in the last round, he was beginning to sway. If I had a little more time I feel I would have knocked him out."
"I knew that this was going to be a war and that is what we delivered tonight," Gonzalez said. "We both gave it our all and didn't let up. I knew that I needed to knock him out to win this fight but he was more resilient than I thought and didn't open up enough for the knockout to happened. I did know the fight was very close and should have been a draw in my opinion. I would like the opportunity to fight him again and prove that I am the better fighter."

I downloaded the fight to my fancy sophisticated new age phone and watched it under a microscope slowed down2x while on Adderall allowing me absolute clarity and have come to the conclusion that Walters did indeed win.

All right.
You, bigjavi, seem to be more concerned about HBO's slurping of Walters than the official scorecards.
Want to fight about it?
:lol1: dont get your ******* in a bunch. You assumed that since I complained about the HBO slurpage that sosa deserved to win or at least get that draw.
That's all I'm seeing from people trying to put it in their heads that Sosa deserved a draw or won.
:pat: again, I never said anything of the sort.
