However, as the fight proceeded and Sosa got comfortable, he came onto the front foot to walk Mina down. As a result, he remained fairly successful in the same.
The 24-year-old approached this fight differently even after being hammered with a few strikes in the initial rounds. He displayed a champion mentality to keep Mina off him and simultaneously landed his colossal right hands. With that, he even dodged the heat coming off Ecuadorian’s hands.
