Neither of them looked great really, like I said I had it for Mike fairly clearly but it wasn't like he shut him out or anything. To me giving Torres the win is just giving Torres too much credit for making the fight, but Mike was way too respectful of Torres power.

I think Torres matches up better with a guy like Cotto who's coming forward and trying to make the fight than when he has to stalk a guy like Arnaoutis, but I don't think he's that good, I still think Cotto made that fight harder than it had to have been by being a bit wild.
