Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of Muhammad Ali, gets majority decision win at Madison Square Garden

Nico Ali Walsh is fortunate to have maintained his perfect record.

The grandson of Muhammad Ali eked past Reyes Sanchez by a majority decision in a four-round middleweight bout on the Vasiliy Lomachenko-Richard Commey card Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York.   

Ali Walsh (3-0, 2 KOs) seemed on the verge of ending the fight in Round 2, when he hurt Sanchez (6-1, 2 KOs) with a wide right with about 30 seconds to go but he couldn't finish the job.

Sanchez rebounded well, fighting aggressively in Round 3 and landing many power shots as the inexperienced Ali Walsh suddenly seemed lost.

Round 4 was close, which left the decision in doubt. However, the judges thought Ali Walsh did enough to win. The scores were 40-36, 39-37 and 38-38.
