Cañizales wins by majority decision in Venezuela

Carlos Cañizales W12 Iván García... On a night that marked the return of elite boxing to the iconic venue Poliedro de Caracas, Venezuela's Carlos “Triple C” Cañizales defeated Mexico's Iván García in a twelve-round light flyweight contest. From the beginning, the 108 pounders showed they were ready to wage war. Cañizales (27-2-1) tried to land power shots while García (12-3-1) counterpunched and took advantage of spacing. Cañizales took the early rounds going forward, while García used intelligence and accuracy. Starting in the fourth, the fight was keenly balanced. Two judges ruled it 116-112 for the local boxer while the third judge scored 114-114, giving Cañizales the win by majority decision.
