Twin brother Patricio Carrion is the reigning UBO world Super Lightweight ruler, and its the first time two brothers win UBO world titles. Being twins, and holding the world titles at the same time, makes it even more special.

But Carrion had to work very hard for it, as Irusta had come to win and put on a great performance. It was two warriors ready to go through fire to become world champion in front of a lively crowd outdoors at the Arena Cavancha.

Both boxers had their moments in the fight, and it was back and forth from round one through round twelve, with many of the rounds close, and with the crowd on their feet cheering and paying tribute to the men entertaining them in the ring.

After twelve fast-paced and exiting rounds, judges Victor Ramos and Francisco Buguento both scored it 115-113 for Carrion, while judge Mario Rojas had it all even at 114-114, making it a Majority Decision for the home-man. Its fair to say it was one who could have gone either way.

The new UBO World Welterweight champion improved his professional record to 22-1 (6), while Irusta suffered his first defeat and drops to 9-1-2 (3). The Argentinian proved his worth in every way, and a rematch would be deserved and should be a real possibility.
