buena pelea, entretenida, lastima que la tube que mirar sin volumen, por la culpa de ese viejo estudpido {comentarista}con sus chistesitos, sin gracia, y aparte burlescos
Dos obreros del ring que lo dieron todo dandonos una muy emotiva pelea.Fallo justo,ya que en mi entender.fue muy dificil de puntual.
A really close fight with a correct final result. Two judges were right and one a little bit far from reality. Fight was good but brutal and both fighters spent incredible amount of energy. Technically the fight was poor, sometimes a sort of street fight that was technically improving a bit on the later rounds. Both fighters never give up and fought with a very similar style just on the short distance. Kamegai was a better technician but nothing spectacular. Jesus just a disorganized punching machine.
