McGuinness remains undefeated!

Fightnews Canada Dave Spencer8th March, 2010

Lightweight Logan McGuinness fought his toughest fight to date and notched his 10th victory in as many attempts, coming away with a 77-75,77-75, 79-74 decision over a determined Pedro Navarrete (24-7-3 13KO). This one was not easy for the Orangeville fighter who was on the wrong end of Navarrete's combinations in the early going, having a tough time establishing position for the first half of the fight. The fourth round belonged all to the Mexican fighter who has proved to be very tough in the past, including taking former world champion Jorge Linares the distance. The final three rounds would prove to be key for Mcguinness who looked to be in his best shape to date and came in at a career low, 129.75 pounds. Down the stretch the Canadian was able to fire back and walk through any combinations that were previously backing him up. McGuinness was able to stay in the pocket, firing away and eventually slowing down and backing up Navarrete who was the first fighter with a winning record to step in the ring with the undefeated fighter. It was a large step up for McGuinness and an impressive victory against a quality opponent.
