It’s not all that unusual because a win is a win and as Al Bravverman once said, there is no such thing as a bad win.
Cole also worked the Leija-Ward fight too. Leija was initially opened up in the 1st round off left hooks inside and Cole ruled headbutt, and fought with it until they passed the required round where his corner got really vocal about how bad it was. Camacho frankly just opted out I thought, and Leija ripped him a new one for not wanting to fight and how he fought cut his entire career. So much irony
