Juan Manuel Lopez Barely Survives Roger Mtagwa In Fight Of The Year Candidate

What a fight this Is why I love boxing and combat sports. JuanMa showed alot of heart and balls but he was almost KO'd near the end.

Unbeaten WBO Jr featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (27-0, 24 KOs) overcame the toughest challenge of his career, winning a narrow twelve round unanimous decision over Rogers Mtagwa (26-13-2, 18 KOs) on Saturday night inside the WaMu Theatre at Madison Square Garden, New York City. “Juanma” had all he could handle with the rugged brawler Mtagwa as the bout contained many spectacular exchanges. Lopez was credited with a knockdown in round five but every round was a war. Mtagwa had a lot more at the end and Lopez had to dig deep to survive the twelfth. Scores were 116-111, 114-113 and 115-111.

As soon as I find a link for the fight I will post it you won't be disappointed.
