LAS VEGAS — American Shakur Stevenson currently holds three division titles and is the former silver medalist from the Olympics. Last Thursday he won the WBC lightweight title in Las Vegas after a hard-fought victory over Edwin De Los Santos.
The official Compubox statistics show that in the course of the 12 rounds, De Los Santos(16-2, 14 KOs) from the Dominican Republic only managed to land 40 punches. Since the system’s inception 38 years ago, these have been the fewest punches ever recorded in a 12-round bout.
