Curiel defeats late replacement Panthen

Raul Curiel W10 Jordan Panthen... Raul Curiel made the most of a late replacement bout with a unanimous decision victory over Jordan Panthen in a catchweight bout in California on Friday. Curiel had been set for a rematch with Alexis Rocha before Rocha pulled out of their welterweight contest at short notice, forcing a reshuffle. Panthen commendably stepped in to fill the gap, and more than played his part in a contest that saw the two men go toe-to-toe in the ring. Ultimately, Curiel secured the triumph on points at Palm Desert's Acrisure Arena. The ten round bout ended with Curiel prevailing by scores of 97-93 (twice) and 98-92.
