The fight turned briefly in round 6 when Juarez, already bleeding from an accidental headbutt earlier in the fight, was stunned by a counter right from Pumicpic.

Juarez, who in his last fight inflicted the first defeat of Albert Pagara’s career with an eighth round knockout win in July and pushed Nonito Donaire Jr to the brink in a losing effort last December, is now 19-5 (14 knockouts) while the Zamboanga del Norte native Pumicpic (18-8-2, 6 KOs) sees his 3-fight winning streak ended.ĭespite being more suited for the bantamweight division than the junior featherweight class in which they fought, Pumicpic didn’t fly all the way across the Pacific to lay down. The scores were 95-93, 96-93 and 98-91 in favor of the Mexican fighter.
