Make no mistake: Junior is the definition of a coddled boxer. And I thought he lost the fight last night by one round. However, I don't think a 96-94 score for Junior is a bad score. 8-2 is a poor. I thought there were definitely some rounds that could have gone either way though. What this fight taught us about Junior is that he's at the level of Vera. His team should cash out with a big fight against Ward or Froch because he'll never be a world-beater.
Vera fought a bit dirty, but in his own way, Junior did too in that he came in at 173 when the fight should have been at 168.
