Up-and-coming super middleweight prospect Osleys Iglesias showcased his skills in a dominant performance against Sena Agbeko. Iglesias, with a record of 12-0 and 11 knockouts, proved his power and precision in the ring by stopping Agbeko, who had a record of 28-4 with 22 knockouts, in the second round of their bout.
First Round Domination
In the first round of the fight, Iglesias wasted no time asserting his dominance. He sent Agbeko to the canvas with a powerful left followed by a well-placed right. Despite Agbeko managing to survive the round, he looked visibly hurt and disoriented, staggering to the wrong corner as he struggled to recover from the onslaught of punches delivered by Iglesias.
As the second round commenced, it was clear that Iglesias had no intention of letting Agbeko off the hook. He unleashed a barrage of punches on Agbeko, who was left with no choice but to cover up against the ropes in a defensive shell. The referee closely monitored the one-sided action, eventually stepping in to stop the fight at 1:16 of the second round.
While Iglesias undeniably demonstrated his superior skills in the ring, it is worth noting that he was landing shots to the back of Agbeko’s head during the final moments of the fight. This behavior, although common in the heat of battle, is considered a foul in boxing and raises questions about sportsmanship and fair play.
The victory for Iglesias raises interesting possibilities for future matchups in the super middleweight division. It is mentioned that it is unfortunate Iglesias is only gaining attention now in the 168-pound division, as it would have been intriguing to see him face Cuban compatriots David Morrell and David Benavidez while they were still active in the weight class.
Osleys Iglesias’ performance against Sena Agbeko was nothing short of impressive. His combination of power, speed, and accuracy in the ring proved to be too much for his opponent to handle. However, the questionable tactics employed by Iglesias in the later stages of the fight raise concerns about sportsmanship and adherence to the rules of the sport. Despite this, Iglesias’ future in the super middleweight division looks promising, with potential showdowns against other top contenders on the horizon.
