Notes

St-Juste's WBC Continental Americas Middleweight Title is not at stake in this fight.
The contractual weight was 162 lbs.
During the first three rounds, St-Juste, playing his usual counter-puncher role, lands heavy shots to the head and body of Gomez.
Starting in the fourth round, Gomez adjusts his strategy accordingly and stops to move forward, significantly slowing down the pace of the fight. St-Juste continues to have the upper hand, but he lands less frequently.
With the fight completely out of reach after he's lost the first seven rounds, Gomez has his best moments in the last three rounds, winning two of them on the judges' scorecards.
