Ancajas and Rodriguez proudly represented their countries with skill, will and determination.
Ancajas’ body punching was outstanding, and his punches looked more impactful than Rodriguez’s punches. Rodriguez gave it a heck of an attempt, but Rodriguez was missing one main quality: impactful punching power.
I also believe Ancajas won.
Ancajas clearly won the fight. If not the round 8, it was a very very close match.
Ancajas is now ready for Estrada and/or Chocolatito Gonzales.
