- Welter had one shining moment (a close decision vs. de la Hoya) but 2 non-competitive loses to Vernon Forest (never showed any ability to change styles during either fight). Killed all his momentum by turning down a re-match with ODLH
- Jr. Middle was again highlighted by a razor close fight with de la Hoya (which I thought he lost), two uncompetitive fights with the excellent Wright and a pair of fights with the spent Vargas. A win of Mayorga isn't going to help either.
I just don't see if myself.
