Looks like Yang was stunned by a 1, 2 at the end of that round. First time seeing Cuenca, but he doesn't appear to be as feather-fisted as his record would suggest.
The bad news for Yang: he's being schooled. The good news: He's Chinese! They generally excel in school, don't they?
Cuenca....Yang 1. 10.........8 2. 9.........10........19-18 3. 10.........9.........29-27 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
Ya think? (He's one of the best refs in the business, though. That's really all that matters, imo.) And it might be sooner than that, based on the way Yang's reacting to the counters. Punching power doesn't always equate to effecting punching, and Cuenca's proving that today.
Round 3 Cuenca is changing directions on Yang, dropping in 1-2s from outside with his upper body lunging inside but feet remaining anchored far enough out to jerk away before Yang can get off a counter. Big fastball pitch right hands by Yang from mid-range after stomping in close, missing as Cuenca dips to either side and uses deft, efficient footwork. Yang comes in with an overhand right and eats a 1-2, staggered. 10-9 Cuenca 30-26 Cuenca
