Pedraza had a dazzling start to the first round, and looked like he had the perfect game plan. However, Commey landed a blow to Pedraza, which shooked him up a little. Pedraza seemed like his feet were stuck on the canvas after that blow, which he usually doesn’t do.
The second round saw Ghana’s strong boxer take the reins in the fight, finding his distance and landing hard and precise shots to Jose Pedraza’s face. This round is where the real fight started between the two boxers.
The Ghanaian boxer was able to impress two of the judges, who noticed the aggression and proactive spirit he brought to the fight. His aggressiveness made it possible for him to connect damaging punches throughout the fight, which punished his Puerto Rican opponent.
However, Pedraza was able to nullify Commey’s advances by landing repeated body shots, which slowed down his opponent.
Pedraza finds rhythm
It looked like Richard Commey was serving up all the cold dishes after the start of the second round. He dominated the bout until the fourth round, but Pedraza came back into the fight.
Commey had a cut on his left eye when there was a clash of heads between the two boxers in the 5th round. In the referee’s account of the fight, he ruled that a punch caused the cut on the eye. After the cut on Commey’s left eye, Pedraza started gaining better control of the fight.
The 9th round was Pedraza’s most dominant round in the fight, making good use of the body punches. The way he landed those punches on Commey’s body had a real impact. It looked like those blows to the body were tiring out Richard Commey in the last couple of rounds.
However, it was not like Pedraza had a marathon after the 4th round was over. He failed to engage in combat in most of Round 8, which made it difficult for the judges to score him. It was as if like he almost took the round off.
Pedraza was able to land 165 of 496 of his total punches and 134 of 291 of his power punches. On the other hand, Commey landed 149 of 684 of his total punches and 130 of 377 of his power shots.

When everything looked like it was going Pedraza’s way, Commey got back into the fight with an excellent performance in the 10th round. That made it difficult for the judges to score that round.
