The fact Pantoja can pretty much death gas and still best some of the premier flyweights is ridiculous.

Dude has a will like no other person I've ever seen.

Fight I thought would be most entertaining was the worst one. I watched every fight this card except that one lol. Everytime I looked back , pantoja was on top or on the back. Just expected a little more violence I guess lol

Can't trust judges for the main event after 2 of them gave Pantoja round 5. That is questionable to say the least. Tells me these old badgers are very tired and not paying attention.

A really well rounded performance by Pantoja, but his cardio continues to be his weakness. Despite slowing down from the middle of the third round, he made really good decisions in key moments.
