Professional career

Payano vs. Inoue

edit

On October 7, 2018, Payano battled Naoya Inoue for the WBA bantamweight title, as a part of the World Boxing Super Series quarter-final. Inoue caught Payano with a left jab, right hook combination just 1 minute and 10 seconds into the fight, sending Payano to the canvas for the KO win. This was Payano's first professional career knockout loss.[1]

Payano vs. Vazquez

edit

In his next fight, Payano bounced back with a unanimous decision win against Damien Vazquez. Payano was in control for most of the fight, winning almost every round on the judges' scorecards, 79-73, 80-71, 80-71.[2]

Payano vs. Nery

edit

In his following fight, Payano battled against Luis Nery. Payano was considered the underdog against the undefeated Mexican. Nery had his own way for most of the fight, landing the cleaner shots throughout the fight. In the ninth round, a perfectly placed left hook to the body by Nery send Payano to the canvas. Writhing in pain, Payano was not even able to attempt to beat the count, leading to a ninth-round KO win for Nery.[3]

Payano vs. Roman

edit

On September 26, 2020, Payano fought former champion Daniel Roman, who was ranked #3 by the Ring, WBA and WBC, and #4 by the WBO and #6 at super bantamweight at the time. Payano lost the fight via unanimous decision. Despite boxing off his back foot, Payano had a strong start in the fight. However, Roman turned up the pressure in the championship rounds, and was aggressive enough to secure the win.[4]
