After their all-out war ended in a draw on Saturday night, both Alexis “Lex” Rocha (25-2-1, 16 KOs) and Raul “El Cugar” Curiel (15-0-1, 13 KOs) want to run it back.

Alexis Rocha: “I want to run this fight back again and then hopefully fight for a world title. I know I did enough to win. The rounds were very close; unfortunately, tonight didn’t go my way. I want the rematch — it was a fun fight, and I want to do it again.”

Raul Curiel: “I definitely felt like I had done what I had to do to win the fight. I’m sure he would say the same. At the end of the day, the fans are the best judges, and based on the crowd’s reactions, they won tonight. I hope we can run it back again next year. For now, I want to enjoy the holidays with my family.”
