Happy with the result. Roman fought the fight he needed to fight against a naturally bigger guy from the calzaghe school of hard flurrying. When you have a guy that likes to ray leonard his way around the ring and then ambush you with a flurries whenever you get in, you either have to have the power to throw with him and catch him in the middle or you have to stay on him and take his room away and never let him get set. For a smaller guy without the power to knock Cuadras out and a reach disadvantage, he had to take a few to get in counter, disrupt his rhythm and score while Cuadras was on the run and keep him from getting set.

It was uglier than chocolatito's normal fights but it was warranted given the level of opponent, style, size and reach differences. I don't know if we'll see this all the time. One might argue he still took a lot less punches than he could have. He does a lot of the little things better than almost any fighter i've seen. His footwork is excellent, he's very good at gauging his ranges and has this knack for having his hands in the right place at almost all times. The way he carries his hands has him in the position to throw short punches (almost like 6 inch punches, but at the same time pick off a lot of counters both actively and passively)
