The fight lasted all 12 rounds and ended with Tszyu winning by unanimous decision (116-111, 116-112, 117-111).
This is Tszyu’s first successful defense of the WBO title.
Tszyu now has 24 victories in 24 professional fights. The WBO belt returned to him automatically, since the American Jermell Charlo decided to fight the Mexican Saul Alvarez, as a result of which he was stripped of the title for not defending the belt in the fight with Tszyu.
Mendoza has 22 wins and three losses.
