Friday at the Karibe Hotel, during the International Boxing evening "Return of the Warriors II" the Haitian Evens Pierre, son of Cité Soleil, keeps (for at least 6 months) his title WBA Fedelatin of the lightweight category, by defeating the Dominican Tomas Mendez in 11-round by unanimous decision of the judges in the presence of an audience of many fans and Abel Nazaire, the new Minister of Youth, Sports and Civic Action https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17127-haiti-sports-boxing-evening-for-the-minister-abel-nazaire.html

From the beginning of combat Evens has easily dominated the Dominican in the first three rounds, the following three have been tighter but Evens now has his domination. Between the 7th and 9th round Mendez tried to bounce back and managed to reverse the trend in the tenth round, although not enough to change the issue of the combat that ended in the 11th round (dominated once again by Evens) by unanimous decision (109-99, 109-99, 110-98.5).
