In a fight packed with knockdowns, point deductions and constant swings of momentum, Argentina\u2019s Juan Cruz Uncos survived the chaos to capture the WBA Fedelatin super bantamweight title, earning a unanimous decision victory over Alan Cantero. The bout, held this weekend in Buenos Aires, turned into a true test of durability, discipline and composure for both fighters.<\/p>\n
Uncos came out firing and appeared on the verge of an early stoppage after a blistering start. Cantero hit the canvas in the second, third and fourth rounds, repeatedly undone by the power and timing of the newly crowned champion. What looked like a one-sided affair, however, evolved into a grueling battle due to Unco\u2019s own rule infractions.<\/p>\n
Despite his dominance in exchanges, Uncos was docked two points during the fight: the first in the third round, moments after scoring a knockdown, and the second in the tenth. Those penalties allowed Cantero to remain mathematically alive on the scorecards deep into the contest.<\/p>\n
After ten rounds of unusually high intensity, the judges turned in scores of 93-92, 96-89 and 94-92, all in favor of Uncos. With the unanimous decision, Uncos secures the black-and-gold regional belt and moves forward in his career, while Cantero\u2014despite suffering three knockdowns\u2014proved his toughness by pushing the fight to the final bell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a fight packed with knockdowns, point deductions and constant swings of momentum, Argentina\u2019s Juan Cruz Uncos survived…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-451733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
