Pedraza (20-0, 12 KOs), a native of Cidra, Puerto Rico, switched stances throughout and showed Andrey Klimov just about every possible look in winning a unanimous decision (119-109, 120-108 twice).
"I'm very grateful. I've been waiting 14 years for this big event," Pedraza said. "We are a small country, but have great fighters. Since I was very small I wanted this and wanted to follow in the footsteps of guys like Wilfredo Gomez,Macho Camacho Wilfredo Benitez, Tito Trinidad and [Miguel] Cotto."
Whether he was outslicking Klimov, 32, early as a southpaw or walking him down in the middle rounds from the orthodox stance, Pedraza, 26, looked spectacular. In between, he lived up to his nickname of "Sniper" by landing one clean counter shot after another to bloody Klimov's nose.
Klimov (19-2, 9 KOs), a native of Klimovsk, Russia, never stopped coming forward despite suffering a badly bruised and swollen face.
