Barclays Center, New York, USA. In the coolest fight of the show, the young American prospect of the first middleweight (up to 69.9 kg) Jesus Ramos (19-0, 15 KOs) outboxed compatriot Lucas Santamaria (13-3-1, 7 KOs), thereby avenging the defeat of Uncle Abel Ramos.
Lefty Ramos looked much bigger and more powerful than his opponent. He occupied the center of the ring and tried to find his distance with a jab. Santamaria was constantly moving, defending well with his body, relying on counterattacks.
Prospect put great pressure, cut the corners of the ring well in the 3rd round, but missed the right counter hook in the last seconds.
Ramos worked great on the body, acted prudently (especially for a 21-year-old prospect). Santamaria answered in motion, confusing the angles of attack, but at the same time, as expected, he was much inferior in striking power.
After the equator, he was forced to increasingly take mahach in the center of the ring, and in the last three minutes he even worked as the first number. This is not his weight category, but a very tough fighter – more than once he will upset the favorites.
But not today. The score of the judges: 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93 in favor of the favorite.
Ramos UD 10.
