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.

Matgwa hit Juanma with straight right hand and stepped on Juanma's foot. The refferee was on the way so you could not see if Juanma landed a punch when Mtagwa went down. But if you watch the replay from another angle you see Juanma landed a straight left hand that send Mtagwa down.

at the 0:20 second mark Juanma almost went down. 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.

Entirely fair score card.

[Syf]

114-113 Juanma

[freeloada]

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.

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.

[oc9979]

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.

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.

[southpaw_07]

*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?
