Alberto Josue Machado Becerril vs. Andrew Anthony Cancio, 12 rounds @ super featherweight

 

Round 1

Machado is shooting the right jab across Cancio's forehead and using a lot of movement, flitting across the DAZN & Tecate logos taking up a majority of the canvas, at center ring and buffering each corner. Left jabs pawed cautiously up by the shorter-armed challenger. Machado very confidently weaves in past Cancio's jab, lands his own, and puts it together with a beautiful left uppercut, knocking down Cancio hard. Up but dazed, Cancio reenters the fray, jabbing with Machado. Right hand by Cancio, determined to even up the score here in the first! Gunning hard, but Machado is able to use his tight guard and height, standing up tall and twinkle-toeing outside, then controlling the final half-minute with jabs.

10-8 Machado

 

Round 2

Machado is bouncing the right jab off Cancio's forehead while circling at long range. Machado sprinkling in some left uppercuts, almost decapitating Cancio with a couple of near-misses. Cancio is shouldering his way in low, arms clasped over the sides of his face, catching some Machado shoeshines on the flats of his knuckles, and scoring with an inclined 1-2 into the chin from just below, staying in Machado's chest! Nice left hook by Cancio as Machado steps back and slaps at him with a right hook! Good action here. Machado places a right jab, then hooks off it, then buries an underhanded left into the ribs. NICE 1-2 by Cancio, looping right, left hook!

10-9 Machado, but fiercely competitive

20-17 Machado
