Very true Gandalf, and your prognosis of the situation was understated, which shows a remarkable self restraint and a penchant for Friday Night Fights with the remarkable Teddy Atlas.

In all seriousness, I thought Herrera was excellent. He beat Garcia to the punch in most rounds, he backed Garcia up, and dominated the exchanges.

The fix was in with the revelation of the 8th round cards. I feel bad for Herrera who clearly did have time to train, was in fantastic shape, was awkward, unpredictable, and beat the man for all to see.

A terrible decision and a shame only Paulie defended his own card from a non-pundit 'let's not rock the boat' stance. Al Bernstein had Herrera up yet constantly tried to justify the closeness of the fight. It was like Goebbels. At least Paulie told the truth and good on him.

Shame on Showtime today and I don't usually say that. Two terrible fights. A fake KO and a complete robbery.
