One week before the fight the Argentinian streamer got a big injury in his hand and that’s why the last week before the fight he couldn’t train and didn’t get used to the weather in Spain, he lost not just for that but also because Agustin 51 was better prepared, had bigger strength and had more cardio that would condition the 3rd round. Agustin 51 won by an unanimous decision.
