Sean O’Malley defeated Marlon Chito Vera in five rounds by unanimous decision
Round 1:
It was an assault of pure study in which both released their fists and kicks, however, O’Malley was more effective than the Ecuadorian who could not break the American’s defense and could not find a way to hurt his rival.
Round 2:
Every time O’Malley becomes more established in his defense of the title. Sugar landed two high kicks to the Ecuadorian’s head. At the end of the round he took advantage of Chito’s carelessness and kneed him, opening his cheekbone.
Round 3:
The Ecuadorian improved, he landed several jabs, but it was not enough for him to stay with this round, while O’Malley constantly changes his guard and that prevents the tricolor from hurting him.
Round 4:
Exchange of fists and kicks. Sean O’Malley unleashes more volume of punches, Chito is cautious. Despite this, he took risks, but Sugar remained distant from the Chone-born attacks.
Round 5:
O’Malley sought the KO, but luck this time was with Vera, who was only defending herself from the constant blows. In the end the Ecuadorian reacted, but it was too late. The American defended his title.
