67-66 Pael; Similar patter to the previous rounds. Escaner doing solid work potshotting a bit and blocking Pael's shots but then Pael comes back and does really good work with his jabs and right hands upstairs. Close round.

86-85 Pael; Pael not doing much this round. Escaner and trying and did good work when Pael was on the ropes. Pael may have taken a breather this round. Escaner needs to throw more if he wants to win these last couple of rounds, and the fight.

Round 10: 10-9 Pael

96-94 Pael; Pael continues to be the one with the more consistent work. Escaner has his moments, with his bursts of energy and combos but it's not enough. Pael throws more and his shots are more effective at this point of the fight. His shots upstairs are also more eye-catching than anything Escaner is landing.

Round 11: 10-9 Pael

106-103 Pael; We're getting closer and closer to the upset. Pael's left hook has been a weapon and he keeps throwing the right hand to the body, and just landing the overall better shots. Escaner not throwing enough but still remains dangerous.

Round 12: 10-9 Escaner

115-113 Pael; Fun ass ending, as both men exchange big shots with Escaner getting the better of it and Pael landing the final blow. Escaner landed some big right hands upstairs to win this round on my card but not enough to win the fight. Pael really showed up and impressed me. Hopefully the judges give him the decision because he really deserves it.

 

Scores:

Angelito Piquero 115-113 Pael
Tony Pesons 116-112 Escaner
Oliver Garcia 116-112 for your winner by split decision......Giovanni Escaner.

BS....8 rounds for Escaner???? This is bad.

 

Maybe you could get to 115-113 Escaner, MAYBE. Still, I'm disappointed at that decision.
