OPENING SHOT
FINISH BIG: Mexican super middleweight warrior Armando Resendiz threw down against Koen Mazoudier in what many hailed as an unexpected Fight of the Year nominee in Las Vegas on October 17. Returning from a high-profile defeat to countryman Jaime Munguia, Resendiz got off to a fast start against the plucky Australian fighter. However, in the middle rounds, Mazoudier bit down on his mouthpiece and gave “El Toro” some serious hell. With it all on the line, Resendiz came out blazing in the 10th and final round, staggering the underdog twice with brutal combinations in the closing seconds. The official result was a UD 10 for Resendiz: 98-92, 97-93, 97-93.
