Would Robert Segal – 26.01.2025. – Comments Diego Pacheco (23-0, 18 KOs) got a scare from the late surprising Steven Nelson (20-1, 16 KOs) but managed to survive and win a 12-round unanimous decision on DAZN’s main show Saturday night at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Chelsea Ballroom, Las Vegas. The fight showed that Pacheco can be broken with constant pressure and a fast pace. Pacheco was lucky that Nelson, 36, was an older fighter who lacked power because he would have crumbled if he had been able to land a punch. Nelson got off to a fast start, using the activity to dominate the first three rounds. Pacheco took over with his jab and controlled from fourth through tenth against Nelson. In the final two rounds, a bloodied Nelson looked like a new man, going after Pacheco, pounding him with big shots that the 23-year-old held. The energy the 36-year-old Nelson displayed in the 11th and 12th rounds was impressive. That was what he lacked in the middle part of the contest, where he gave away the fight.
