Diego Pacheco (23-0, 18 ko) was intimidated by the late surprising Steven Nelson (20-1, 16 Kos), but managed to survive that on Saturday night in Dazn he won a unanimous decision in 12 rounds in his heads on Dazn Cosmopolitan from Las Vegas, Chelsea Ballroom, Las Vegas.
The fight showed that Pacheco can quickly break non -stop by pressing. Pacheco was lucky that Nelson, 36, was an older fighter who was missing power because he would fall apart if he could hit.

Nelson started quickly, using an activity to dominate the first three rounds. Pacheco took over his strength and controlled from the fourth to the tenth against Nelson. In the last two rounds, the bloody Nelson looked like a new man, he went after Pachec, hitting him with big shots held by the 23-year-old.
The energy that 36-year-old Nelson showed in the 11th and 12th rounds was impressive. He lacked it in the middle part of the competition, where he gave the fight.
