I think one aspect that also helped Vera, was his shots affected Mora. Mora's shot where like a mosquito to Vera, he only ever hurt him with body shots. Stepping back and acknowledging you just got hit good is never good to make your case. Mora had the cleaner shots, they just werent effective.
Yep.Quote:

Vera def hurt Mora a couple of times with those clean left hooks. And he outworked Mora big time in the first 3/4 of the fight. Mora only won like 2 rounds thru the first 8, maybe 3, add in him winning the last two rounds, and he gets a 96-94 loss or a 95-95 draw.
And first thing I noticed was that ring was super small.
Hooray for Vera !
I don't hate him, but it is annoying. Mora, of anyone should know you can't take the present fight for granted?!Quote:

Mora looks aged, shot, and done. He doesn't have the strength to compete and apparently doesn't have the work ethic either. No doubt they will recycle him near the top for 5-6 fights though.
Did you see the pre-fight interview with Mora asking for someone to shut him up about claiming he's one of the best fighters in the world? Ask and you shall recieve. ;D
Ok I'm going on the extreme cheap ;D.....Bump
The rematch is going on, 3rd round and Mora is being pushed into corners with ease and unless his sole hope is to rope-a-dope to Vera gasing I think he's being walked on 3-zip so far
I know, its a Mora fight...and its in Tx...but its a thin night of action. They have a rather excited gal with a Grace jones hairdo calling the fight so I'm not complaining
Something tells me they better have pics of the judges here...I have it easily 6-1 Vera with Mora landing the occasional flashy one and done but he might as well be hitting Vera with a bag full of bubble wrap
Either I'm drunk or this is the 9th round and NOT the 10th as it indicates :confused: Mora closed to the body well last round....oh crap Mora just went down along ropes and nothing ?!
Mora looks like he's looking for a second wind and tired early 11th and Vera bulling him hard around. For anything Mora lands sharp Vera lands 4or 5 crude and taxing...Veras corner tells him to go for KO leading to 12th
Ronnie shields tells blow by blow announce team..'we need a ko to win'....actually suprised a corner guy would sell his guy THAT short, or I'm blind ??? I think Vera took it by 4, at least
114-114
118- 110
117-111..... Vera wins it and Mora whining and pissing on camera :rolleyes:
Ronnie shields needs to check himself and his loyalty too...that was lewd and off base!!
I was pissed this wasn't on any channels we have as I am a big Vera fan. The guy is crude but an absolute warrior.
Glad to hear he beat Mora again.
What network broadcast this fight ?
I couldn't watch the fight unfortunately. Any scorecards saddo members?
It was Telefutura here bud. Wasn't sure it was live at first, start time of 11 pm but it looked to be. Not a bad bout and I'd def lean to about 117-111 ish. Mora was beside himself in interview and dropped Ronnie Shields name about 5 times. Still blows me away how a guys own corner man can say he essentially lost, fighter didn't do enough etc to commentators before the final bell sounds. It had a funny smell to it.Quote:

I gave Mora the benefit of the doubt in a few rounds as I read this was a robbery from Mora and idiot fans on boxingscene.
I could see 115-113 Vera or maybe 116-112 Vera, but I scored it a draw.
Agree 100% about Ronnie Shields though. Does he not want a job anymore !? YOU NEVER SAY THAT SHIT in such a close fight.
Just watched the fight. I think a strong case can be made for Mora winning, he landed the cleaner, harder punches and made Vera miss almost all night. However, when you spend all night on the ropes and throw 1/3 of the punches that your opponent does you can't be that surprised if you don't get the win.
Exactly.Quote:

This rematch was very similar to the first match, but slightly closer.
Thats like I watched it. Dude pretty much cheaply slap boxed nice in a few spots..but Vera was constant crude effect. He basically mauled him in first few rounds on ropes and Mora-less thought he was a one shot artist and could play to camera. Best moment was late in 9th to body where Vera was left gawking at him after bell. Mora let Vera dictate.
