Why should it go to Martinez-Chavez Jr, just because Julio had him hurt after getting his ass whipped in all the rounds prior? It was certainly dramatic given that, but in the round itself there was barely any two way action. Off the top of my head I'd say at least a couple rounds in Rios-Alvarado were much better, or in fact the last round of Pac-Marquez as Manny was knocked out in the dying seconds after having it in the bag. The first round of that special FNF a while ago between Kim and Beltran was also great.
I'm not crazy about Dan Rafeal and his Klitschko nut hugging either. But, he does break stories first and is a good reporter, if not a bias snobbish analyst.

Yes ! That was round of the year for me. Great round.
