After ten rounds of battle between
compatriots, Juan Toscano was
crowned the World Boxing Federation
(WBF) International Light Flyweight
Champion on Saturday night (June
18), defeating Juan Diego Tadeo at
Gimnasio Municipal Oscar “Tigre”
Garcia in Ensenada. Mexico.
Local favorite Toscano started the
fight best, dominating the first two
stanzas by using his jab effectively
and landing good combinations to the
body.
Tadeo came back strong in round
three, trying to turn the tide by
putting massive pressure on Toscano,
and it appeared that a shift in
momentum was on the cards.
But Toscano weathered the storm and
was back in control from rounds four
through eight, setting the pace and
countering with straight right hands
and mixing in well-placed
body-shots.
Tadeo, realizing he was falling
behind on the scorecards, upped his
tempo in the final two rounds and
pressured Toscano the best he could,
but Toscano was able to stick and
move and avoided any real trouble.
Judges Fernando Renteria and Manuel
Cota both scored the fight 96-94,
while judge Eduardo Aguayo had it
slightly wider at 97-93, all for
Juan Toscano.
“Todo
O Nada”, All or Nothing, was
promoted by Borizteca Boxing.
