However, Sandoval recovered from a knockdown in the fifth round and fought against the current to prevail on the judges\u2019 scorecards.<\/p>\n<p>From the beginning of the action, the Japanese fighter pressed using his jab, moving forward. Sandoval landed some good punches, but Teraji responded and maintained the initiative during a cautious start.<\/p>\n<p>At Sandoval\u2019s best moment in the fifth round, Teraji sent him against the ropes and knocked him down with a combination to the face. Sandoval quickly got back on his feet to continue the action.<\/p>\n<p>The following rounds were very close with alternating dominance from both warriors, but Sandoval performed better.<\/p>\n<p>The judges\u2019 scores were: Joseph Gwilt (117-110) and Leszek Jankowiak (115-112) in favor of Sandoval. Pawel Kardyni (114-113) in favor of Teraji.<\/p>\n<p>With this victory and the conquest of the world crown, Sandoval improved his record to 27-2, with 18 knockouts.
