Cermeņo was pushing the action but was also missing a lot. Mijares uncharacteristically was not as accurate as usual but he landed a bundle of counterpunches off Cermeņo's aggresiveness. Note also that a point should have been deducted to Cermeņo for that punch to the kidney. He was throwing a lot of punches to the back of the head too. Nonetheless, Mijares did not stick to his typical style. The one has placed him in the pound for pound rankings in the past. I still think he won the fight based on landing the jab, making Cermeņo miss a lot, and cleaner punching.

Your scorecard looks quite decent. I thought Mijares won. I will say one thing though. Cermeno was winning the rounds he won more decisively. He was whipping the **** outta Mijares in the 8th round. I thought he was gonna get stopped at that point, but he weathered the storm, and at the end of the day he swept most, if not all of the championship rounds.

The next fight should be HBO, because it was a very good competitive fight.
