TERAJI FATIGA: Key factor

Sandoval returned strong, attacking theraji with body traits and using non -stop pressure to wear out the largest fighter. Sandoval’s pressure slowly took Teraji, which seemed exhausted by the ninth round. Its speed, movement and power deteriorated in the last four rounds of the effects of the constant attacks of Sandoval.

The end result was due to the fatigue of Teraji instead of Sandoval, which seemed especially great. What could have played a role in the fight was the brutal 12 -round struggle that Teraji had four months ago against Seigo Yuri Akui on March 13 in Japan.

Although Teraji won by a twelfth round, it was a closing contest until then, and had made many Akui shots. It was a mistake on the part of Teraji returning to the ring for a title defense against a Sandoval, motivated without rest.
