Raúl Curiel vs. Jordan Panthen fight recap
Raúl Curiel (17-0-1, 15 KOs) got the unanimous decision win over Jordan Panthen (11-2, 9 KOs), but he was made to work for it.
Scores were 98-92 and 97-93 (x2). Due to the bout being arranged on such short notice, the pair fought 10 rounds at a catchweight of 158 lbs.
Panthen had a busy opening round, throwing a high volume of punches at his opponent. Curiel utilized clinches in an attempt to limit the number of shots coming his way. He took some time to figure out how to deal with Panthen’s offence.
Curiel was better able to impose his style after round four. Panthen’s tendency to overextend left him susceptible to counters. Curiel found it easier to land his power shots as his opponent started to tire. He was also more accurate. Both men were starting to lean on each other a lot more as well.

A straight right hand in round nine buckled the legs of Panthen. Curiel tried to end the fight with a barrage, but the American recovered quickly. Panthen had moments of success in the tenth, but the harder shots came from his opponent. Curiel’s accuracy allowed him to win rounds despite Panthen’s come forward, high volume approach. He was ultimately the victor on all three scorecards.
