Bantamweight contender Khalid Twaiti successfully rebounded from his first-ever defeat, outfighting the determined but outgunned Francisco Gomez Sanchez over six rounds. Twaiti, 15-1 (5 KOs), of Brooklyn, New York, won by shutout scores of 60-53 on two cards – consistent with the one-sided nature of the bout – while a third judge somehow had it even in rounds at three apiece, with Twaiti prevailing by a single point, 57-56, due to a knockdown he scored in the opening round.
With the win, the 29-year-old Twaiti bounced back from his decision loss to the still-unbeaten Emanuel Moreno in June.
Twaiti, who is listed at 5ft 7ins, had at least a 6ins height advantage over his opponent, and was forced to crouch to a comical extent to land on the 33-year-old Sanchez, 14-14 (11 KOs), of Chiapas, Mexico. Twaiti scored the only knockdown of the fight near the end of the first on a left hook high on the head. Despite being technically and physically outgunned, Sanchez never stopped trying, rushing in – usually without a jab – to fire off wide shots to the head and body. That practice backfired on Sanchez as Twaiti hurt him once more in the third, this time with a right hand, while taking advantage of the opportunity to land uppercut counters.
Twaiti began to stand a little taller in the fourth round, establishing his jab and keeping Sanchez at bay. Twaiti never seriously hurt Sanchez again until the final minute of the sixth,
when a left uppercut sent him backwards and off balance.
