I agree it was great to see Bailey pull it off, but it also shouldn't be overlooked that it was a terrible fight right up until the end, and that Mike Jones is simply nowhere near a top fighter. When you consider how few worthy PPV cards that are being put together these days, the night as a whole was a major let down. Rigondeaux is a joy to watch, but his fight was an absolute mismatch. The Arce fight as well obviously dissapointed in a big way.

It's also great to say that controversy is part of the sport if you're already a hardcore fan, but the sad fact is Pacquiao is one a few real draws left in the sport. To anyone who hasn't already had their patience tried and tested, the decision was extremely offputting to say the least. Its beyond a stretch to spin that card as a plus for boxing imo.
