Johan Estupinan shares thoughts on Johan Ghazali’s power: “Yeah, I felt it”

The highly anticipated battle of the Johans lived up to the hype, as 18-year-old striking phenoms Johan Estupinan and Ghazali showcased their fighting spirit in an electrifying bout that saw both fighters hit the mat.

The matchup between the two young fighters ended with the judges unanimously naming Johan Estupinan the victor. While 'Panda Kick' earned the W, Ghazali also had his moments, knocking down Estupinan with a solid overhand right that had the Colombian figuratively scratching his head.

There is no question about the power behind Ghazali's hits as 'Panda Kick' felt the force of Estupinan's right hand. However, he believes his knockdown was only him going out of balance when Ghazali held onto his leg. In the post-fight interview Nick Atkin held with the Estupinan twins, Johan said:

"I'm not going to make any excuses. The first time, yeah, I felt it. The power. The second time, he pulled my leg. Of course, I was going to fall because he pulled my leg. But the referee said it was a knockdown. I didn't want to argue."
