The tussle between Julio Ceja and Mark Magsayo proved to be one highly entertaining boxing event. Both the fighters put on a performance worth the watch and they kept everyone intrigued. However, in the end, it was Magsayo’s night as he attained a solid T/KO win in round 10.

As the fight began, Magsayo dropped his fellow adversary in the first round itself. He showed enough power and intent right from the first gong and left Ceja on the back foot. Despite the knockdown, Ceja, who gained a vertical base, came out with some counterattacks.

He even had Magsayo on the ropes, but couldn’t make full use of the opportunity. In the second round, too, ‘Magnifico’ was the offensive boxer, and he only came forward with his shots. On the other hand, Ceja used his hooks to get some success.

The tussle got rough in the later rounds as both the fighters kept each other on their toes. ‘Magnifico’ used his movements in the later rounds and he again relied on his powerful right hands to keep Ceja away from him.

Magsayo still wasn’t really able to figure his opponent’s approach in the later rounds. Despite that, he still managed to get success with his quick and fiery movements.
