The FNF ESPN show from “Oh Canada” country tossed us jr. welter battle between adopted Montreal, Canada via Cameroon hometown favorite Herman Ngoudjo, in with Souleymane M’Baye of France. 

This, a very decent one but nothing special - Ngoudjo at age 28, and numbered IBF #3 entered on loss to its champion Paul Malignaggi - his opponent M’Baye entered WBA#3, WBC#5, IBF#5 - and let the games begin. 

Opens with Ngoudjo the enforcer in style, but not all that effective, as the veteran M’Baye claims the stanza on quicker hands and better skills. 

Ngoudjo picks up the pace over two and three with much busier work ethic - possible problem however, is a visible puffing to the left eye - still, the crowd favorite would claim the advantage over chapters six through nine while making it trench warfare. 

On my unofficial it’s M’Baye grabbing the championship stanzas 10-11-12 as Ngoudjo was visibly working with closed left eye - and then the official scoring. 

Ngoudjo 117-111, 116-112, 115-113 for the unanimous decision. My unofficial had it wrong: Under points all square at 114 - using the round by round method 6-6 for a draw. 

Closing comments: To be fair, this one a tough call as most rounds were close - the question here is more about the Ngoudjo injured left eye. House medic visits corner to ask the fighter if he could see out of the left eye. No surprise Ngoudjo answered si, si, instead of no see. 

Rest of story: Herman Ngoudjo ( 17-2, 9 KO) ~ age 28 - best guess is career club fighter - had losing shot at Malignaggi and comes up short. Not up to par with the upper level clientele at 140.
                     Souleymane M’Baye (36-3-1, 21 KO) ~ age 33 - ratings plus entering off six KO wins, showed flashes of good boxer/puncher style. Remains contender, but only under the four title sanctioning body system.
