Similarly (and in the same weight class even), even though I'm not high on Munguia's talent level - especially compared to the hype around him - it took until the Derevyanchenko fight for him to show what he's really made of. Maybe Sergiy edged him on the cards and didn't get the decision he deserved. I can see that fight either way. But, more importantly, it proved that when fight or flight time comes, Jaime is a fighter. Pacheco, thought to a bit lesser degree given the opponent and lesser degree of being hurt, proved that as well.

By Corey Erdman - The art of matchmaking in boxing is a practice of toeing several lines at once. The one between giving your fighter confidence and giving them a learning experience. The one at the intersection of actual danger based on skill and perceived danger based on name value. The one between delivering an impressive performance under duress and creating doubt in the fanbase's minds.
