this was an awesome fight. this is what we get when real fighters fight the best challengers instead of trying to protect their record. I have more respect for the loser of this fight than all those going the way of Mayweather & hand picking opponents to ensure their victory. If you are a champion you should fight whoever consensus says is the top dog for you to fight. if you want to protect your record, don't go for a belt. That is the way it should be. I have been impressed with the fights some of these champions are taking as of late in the boxing world.
