Actually Vera isn't bad. He was unbeaten coming into the Contender with a win over hot ESPN prospect Samuel Miller. I personally thought he lost that fight but it was close and Miller until his loss to that Darnell guy was considered an ultra hot prospect and KO machine.
He also beat Max Alexander from the Contender who was pretty slick, almost upsetting Sam Soliman on the show so Vera is no slouch.
He got caught early by Codrington but apart from that had a perfect record.
I thought this looked a tough assignment on paper and he really did do himself proud on the night.
I'd say he's B grade, a Jesse Feliciano caliber opponent who could be a tough nights work for even a few A list fighters.
