Lightweight

A great match-up occurred in this division last night, in Romania, between Efrein Cuervo and Clint Stiftner. The battle went back and forth for the first five rounds with neither boxer taking control of the fight. Cuervo went down in the 3rd round with a combination to the body and head from Stiftner. Round six seemed to be close and was later confirmed by the judge's scorecards, (9-9) by all three. Efrein went to one knee after an overhand right connected hard for a 7-count in the seventh round. Even with a badly swollen left eye in the 8th, Cuervo kept coming at Stiftner. However, in the tenth round, the damage from the first 9 rounds took a toll on Efrein and the match ended when Stiftner caught his opponent with a vicious uppercut that put Cuervo down for the 3rd time in the round. The scorecard totals showed in favor of Clint, 259-245. Stiftner's record improved to 16-1-0, with his only loss coming by a 3rd round KO from Michael Reid Jr. back in 2000. Cuervo suffered his first loss in 17 total bouts.
