Andres Cortes being granted a unanimous decision win over Abraham Nova has the boxing community divided.
Earlier this evening, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Nova employed a tremendous work rate to put Cortes on his back foot for the majority of the fight.
However, while 'El Super' out-landed his opponent during the contest, Cortes had the upper hand when it came to accuracy and power punches. After a competitive ten rounds, judges favored the Nevada native's accuracy and upper hand in significant punches to Nova's work rate.

The final scorecards read 97-93, 97-93, and 96-94 in favor of the 26-year-old.

With the win, Cortes captured the WBO North American Boxing Organisation super featherweight title and extended his undefeated record to 22-0. During his post-fight interview, the pugilist called for a world title fight in his next outing.
'El Super' is now in a precarious position. The loss has put him on a two-fight skid. He is now 2-3 in his last five. The controversial loss might turn out to be a hurdle for him in pursuing any big fights in the near future.
In the main event of this weekend's Top Rank fight card, Rafael Espinoza successfully defended his WBO featherweight title for the first time, clinching a fourth-round TKO win over Sergio Chirino Sanchez.
