Jose Pedraza and Richard Commey threw over 1100 punches as they battled to a split draw in the 10-round bout at 140lbs in Oklahoma on Saturday night.

Pedraza (29-4-1, 14 KO) won the first card 97-93, Commey (30-4-1, 27 KO) took the second 96-94, but the third judge scored it 95-95.

Commey, 35, got the better of the early action before Pedraza worked his way into the contest.

Commey then suffered a nasty cut over his left eye in the sixth round before going on the defensive but the judges were unable to separate the fighters after 10 rounds of boxing.

“I was a little bit disappointed because I thought I won this fight,” said Commey. “This is boxing. I’m a warrior and where I’m from, we fight.”
