Glad to hear he beat Mora again.
What network broadcast this fight ?
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.
Yes after I posted this I caught it on the mexican channel. After watching the fight I actually scored it a draw, 6-6. After the fight Brian Vera even said he felt it was a draw.
However, there were sooooooo many fucking close rounds, AND Brian Vera got screwed out of a knockdown when Mora was leaning way down below his waist and was essentially being held up by the ropes as Vera was beating on him.
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.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
