Overall Summary: Junior Lightweight Carlos Velasquez (11-0, 9 KO's) controlled the pace of this fight with his effective aggression. Juan Nazario (6-2-1, 4 KO's) had no answer for Velasquez's hard overhand rights and good body work. Velasquez put an enormous amount of pressure on Nazario from the opening bell. When Nazario felt he was in trouble, he would tie Velasquez up rather than working his jab and trying to box the 24 year old from Puerto Rico.
However, Velasquez made some errors tonight, and may have been in trouble if he fought better opposition. Though he applied pressure throughout the entire fight, Velasquez came forward throwing punches from too far away without using his jab, which left him open to counter punches. He also didn't throw punches from many angles. In the future, he needs to shorten the distance with his jab and then fire his combinations.
Also, Velasquez possesses good hand speed, but should show more movement than just walking straight toward opponents to be less predictable. Velasquez needs to put together a better game plan because he is not always going to have the edge in overall skill to overpower his opposition. A better boxer and counter puncher may have exposed Velasquez to his vulnerabilities. Still, a good overall performance by the young Carlos Velasquez.
