Vukosa, who turned pro in 2001 had been inactive for several spells, including a 12 year layoff before returning to beat Olympian Jason Estrada in 2014.. Following his sole loss to Donovan Dennis in 2015, Steve returned to winning ways earlier this year, before taking on the very popular and capable Cusamano last night..
Vukosa landed the more cleaner punches throughout, maintaining a workrate that isn’t often synonymous with a fighter of his advanced years.. Cusamano suffered a knockdown after walking into a right hand in the third.. The Danville fighter opted a cautious approach following the knockdown, but started to come forward more as the rounds advanced.. There’s no question that the physically imposing Cusamano is possibly the more physically stronger of the two, but couldn’t find the power to subdue the more experienced Vukosa, even as the older fighter began to fade.. With many of the middle rounds close, it was very possible that the scoring could be objective as a tense partisan crowd waited nervously for the scorecards to be announced.. The scores were finally announced as 76-75 (twice) and 77-74, all in favour of Vukosa.
