This fight was basicaly to evaluate where Guerault stands at this point of his career.

Torres seemed very wide with his shots. His strategy basicaly consisted of luring guerault towards the ropes. Guerault capitalized well on Torres leaning on the ropes with good overhand shots.

The other fight shown on the undercard was undefeated prospect Amaro Diallo (13-0-0 4KOs) against Domingos Nascimento Monteiro (10-10-2). This was a test for a propsect who was carefully brought up through the ranks.

Diallo established himself quickly in that fight as the more talented fighter. He displayed a very quick and effective left hand, mainly hooks in combinations.

This end up being a good test for Diallo, he got some good opposition in the 3rd and 4th and had to dig deep and find some answers to Monteiro's pressure. Diallo took the control of the fight back, and re-established his quicker and slicker style. He even tried to finish Monteiro, but his shots were too wide and not enough precise. Diallo won a 6 rounds decision.















The main event was featuring two fighters making a comeback, Pablo Navascues (25-1-0 18KOs) coming back from a 10 months break, and Miguel Angel Pena (25-11-4 25-12-4 9KOs) back from a 2 years off period. Pena hasnt won a fight in three years and is fighting his comeback at one weightclass heavier.

Nevascues displayed great straight punching, while Pena was basicaly fighting flat footed, and looking to counter Nevascues who didnt have a very good defense. This was a good strategy for Pena, since his patience was rewarded by Nevascues always applying pressure and going forward.

A very close fight that ended in a 10 rounds split decision for Nevascues.
