Adrian Granados and Jose Luis Sanchez gave the fans all they could ask for in their eight-round war.

Except for a winner.

A terrific slugfest between Granados and Sanchez ended in an eight-round majority draw as part of a 10-fight card Saturday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Granados managed to win 77-75 on the scorecard of judge Carla Caiz, overruled by scores of 76-76 each turned in by judges Ron Scott Stevens and Edward Hernandez Sr.

Sanchez looked to make a statement in a rare appearance outside of his Albuquerque home region. It served to his detriment, as Granados was able to get the better whenever the two stood and trade. Granados connected with a flurry of punches at center ring in round two, though leaving his guard open long enough for Sanchez to land a right hand by Sanchez who was forced to spend much of the contest fighting through a bloody nose.

Granados took the fight to Sanchez in round three, unloading with right hands and left hooks. Sanchez—whose older brother Jason Sanchez is a former featherweight title challenger—used more movement in round four, seeking to get Granados to follow him around and connecting with left hooks. Granados looked to counter but was badly stunned by a left hook midway through the round.

Sanchez made the mistake of letting Granados off the hook after having him hurt, as the veteran trialhorse punched his way back into the fight in the second half. Granados made it an inside fight whenever Sanchez stopped moving, to which the 28-year-old struggled to adapt.

Granados continued to come forward down the stretch, though both fighters had each other hurt in the eighth and final round. Sanchez connected with a counter left hook just as he was caught during an exchange. Granados rode it out and let his hands go in the closing seconds. Sanchez looked to counter but was forced to cover up in order to avoid getting caught by a home run shot.

Granados moves to 21-8-3 (15KOs), though in a fight where he probably deserved the nod. Sanchez is now 11-1-1 (5KOs).

The bout headlined a three-fight livestream airing live on PBC on Fox’s YouTube channel preceding the Fox telecast and Fox Sports PPV. Headlining the evening, former unified heavyweight titlist Andy Ruiz (33-2, 22KOs) faces three-time title challenger Chris Arreola (38-6-1, 33KOs) in a scheduled 12-round contest.
