"Hardly a punch was landed as the two fighters felt each other out in the 1st round. Then Medel had a slight edge in the 2nd and 3rd as Pimental played it cool. Pimental sent Medel sprawling to the canvas with his jarring right in the 4th, picking up another point with punishing lefts in the 5th and then settled for an even round in the 6th. Pimental's lefts found their mark again for an edge in the 7th and 8th. But then came the big bomb. Medel, sensing he was losing, spilled Pimental and followed up with punishing combinations before spilling him for a second time in the 9th. Medel appeared to be well spent in the 10th and Pimental became the aggressor again to rate an edge." -Pasadena Independent
