FIGHT RESULTS AND PICTURES FROM UNITED BOXING PROMOTIONS FIGHT CARD - HERSHEY CENTRE By Socrates Celestial PhilBoxing.com Mon, 30 Mar 2015  McGuinness connects with a solid left hook on Juarez. Mississauga, Canada -- MAIN EVENT: Luis Armando Juarez (19-8) Argentina versus Logan McGuinness (20-0) Orangeville. 8 Rounds: Coming off a difficult hiatus due to injuries and the death of his cherished manager, McGuinness came back to the ring with a new resolve and new management. Some questioned what the undefeated fighter would look like with an almost 2 year layoff. He did not disappoint. Without skipping a beat McGuinness burst back in with ring generalship that bullied the visiting Juarez to the ropes from the beginning bell. Juarez tried to set it off early with heavy body punches, but the quick Canadian had an impervious defense that left little room for any punch to land. The majority of the fight was won and battled within a foot of each other utilizing their inside punches. In the second round McGuinness drops his opponent and the time keeper starts pounding the canvas beginning the official knockdown count. The referee picks up Juarez and cleans him off calling the fall as a slip. The time keeper himself looked confused. Juarez feeling the pressure from the confident opposition resorts to holding. The excessive holding garnishes disapproving boos from the crowd and results in a point deduction from the referee in the sixth round. The Argentinian puts forth an aggressive effort, but it?s not enough to keep up with the clean counter punching of McGuiness. The return of ?Cotton? McGuiness is successful and the pugilist looks unchanged and strong, winning unanimously and ending an electric night at the Hershey Center.
