@ATBF could you be so kind to post the video again.
Thank you
New video posted ;-)
@ATBF thank you host for your fast reply and the good video provided.
Very entertaining confrontation from two fast and sound technical boxers. The fight was very close and a draw was much deserved. However, since it was for the title, in my opinion, Payano should be the winner since he was the full time aggressor and being the current champion he deserves the benefit of such decision. Warren was more accurate but in terms of punches connected both guys were almost identical. Just another biased judge decision.
That was a nice brawl, but i had Payano by winning 115-113. Still, it was a very close fight and I enjoyed it. 3 stars.
