I just rewatched the fight

Did you guys also know that Mtagwa tested positive for ephedrine against Aldo Valtierra Ephedrine (EPH) is a sympathomimetic amine commonly used as a stimulant, appetite suppressant, concentration aid, decongestant, and to treat hypotension associated with anaesthesia. Ephedrine is similar in structure to the (semi-) synthetic derivatives amphetamine and methamphetamine. Chemically, it is an alkaloid derived from various plants in the genus Ephedra (family Ephedraceae). It is most usually marketed in the hydrochloride and sulfate forms. The ECA stack is a popular supplement taken by body builders before workouts due to the increased amount of energy and alertness.

Wow i didnt know this would be a tough fight for juanma!!! well he needs to learn and this is the sort of fight that he would make him learn. Also the kind of fight in which you: get permanent damage ala Mrgarito - Cotto (he was not the same after that fight)... I hope he's ok but we will need to wait until the next solid opponent to make a better judgment. Little bird tells me that won't be anytime soon :S

In the last 10 second of the round Juanma about 5 clean punches and Mtagwa landed one after the bell. This round could of gone either way. I scored it 10-9 for Mtagwa (88-82) 10th round Juanma came to kill in the first 30 seconds. Juanma is getting hit clean now. His hands are down. Juanma hit Mtagwa with a good combination half way thru the round. Mtagwa hit him in the back of the head when Juanma went thru the ropes and try to hi him again.

He came forward throwing some punches and look like the energizer bunny walking. Juanma survived the 12th. 10-8 for Mtagwa. (115-111) You could scored the 12th round 10-9 for Mtagwa and this is why *Juanma came hurt from the previous round. Mtagwa landed a lot of good punches but it was not a destruction. *Mtagwa did not score a knockdown. I'm pretty sure the judges score the 12th round 10-9 round. Where can i see this fight? what network was it on? ive been so busy lately i forgot about this fight..

I dont know why the weight drain excuse always come out after the fight.

Same score I had, close but clear decision for Juanma. Thanks for the analysis. Hopefully he learns and improves from this fight.

*has any part of his body outside the ropes *is hanging on the ropes helplessly re-watch the fight, Juanma was outside the ropes 3 times as well as hanging on the ropes for most of the last rd...still not counting the round as 10-8 or even better 10-7?

Wow i didnt know this would be a tough fight for juanma!!! well he needs to learn and this is the sort of fight that he would make him learn. he threw the game plan out of the window when he saw he could not hurt Mtagwa. 1. He should of work the body more. Every time Juanma landed in the body Mtagwa did not really like it. 2. He should of use the jab like the corner told him to do. 3. He was doing very good countering the jab and the looping right hand with the right hook. 4. If you going to trade punches keep you hands up.

round 5 wasn't a 10-8 round and i disagree about round 10 114-113 Juanma I respect that. 10 round could of gone either way.

yea.. i had it 115-111/112.. but regardless.. Juanma won the fight.. he was waaaay more active and took most of the 1st 6 rounds.. but if it went 1 more round im almost positive Juanma would have been knocked out.. lol.. he was really gassed.. great fight though.. kinda reminded me of the taylor - froch fight.. except Juanma didnt go down.. Props to him.. oh hell yea. I'm sure about that. in the 12th was kinda of weird because he looked hurt but he was gassed more than hurt. I dont know if you guys get what I'm saying.
