This was a fight like a caliber .45 against a .22. The Argentinian in spite of being fast and move well in the ring wasn’t a match for the Russian. The Russian was winning all the rounds before both falling down.
Unfortunately, Cuenca with his lack of power and extremely good record cannot defend himself as Locche did during his whole career.
First time I saw him fitting.
