Moreno vs. Urina: Chemito Defeats William Urina Via Unanimous Decision

Alex BallentineAug 10, 2013

Anselmo Moreno (34-2-1, 12 KOs) continued his dominant reign over the WBAย bantamweight title with a unanimous-decision victory over William Urina (24-3, 20 KOs) on Saturday night in Panama City, Panama.ย 

His performance was nearly flawless as the scorecards reflected a one-sided affair. Two judges awarded Moreno the fight 118-110, while the third judge scored a few rounds for the challenger at 116-112, according to Fightnews.com.ย 

Heading into the fight, Urina was an interesting challenger because of his knockout power. He had finished 20 of his 27 professional fights; however, Moreno's slick defense and boxing ability proved to be too much for Urina.ย

He consistently moved in and out of exchanges without taking damage, leaving a frustrated Urina swinging at air.ย 

As Steve Kim of Max Boxing pointed out, he did a great job of going to the body early and often to build his lead on the scorecards.ย 

The win is just the latest example of the supreme skill that Moreno possesses in the ring. He earned the WBA Bantamweight Championship back in 2008 with a unanimous-decision victory over Wladimir Sidorenko.ย 

Since then, he's only lost one boutโ€”a 2012 unanimous-decision loss to Abner Mares for the WBCย bantamweight title. As Kim noted, "Chemito" didn't show any signs of losing his confidence after the loss. He was back to his usual ways on Saturday night.ย 

Avenging that loss could be next on the docket, but for now, he'll have to be happy with turning in yet another impressive defense of the belt that he has held for more than five years.ย
