The only video available was take too close making very difficult to watch in details the moves and punches displayed by these boxers. Punch combinations were much better from the Roman’s side but it was difficult for him to connect since his adversary was a very elusive target. i guess the younger fighter deserved the title which I believe he is going to keep for long due to is unconventional style and potential punching power which was not deployed in this fight.
