    Is Pacheco improving? I've followed him for a long time but I'm not really seeing any leap. He's always been about what we saw last night imo.

    Not a lot of speed or urgency to his game.

    Nelson had good movement throughout, but he didn't throw enough in the first part of the fight imo. He might have left a couple of rounds on the table.

      Nelson won 5 or 6 rounds there I thought, wasn't much in it.

          You guys are a tough crowd. For a 23yo I though Pacheco acquitted himself quite well against a fighter who had never tasted defeat before and who came prepared.
          I especially like how cool and calm he was and how selective he was with his sniper like punches. Credit to Steven for having a strong beard as he took some hellacious punches that might have rendered many a fighter senseless.
          Respect to Steven for fighting with a cut eye sustained early which i am sure compromised his performance somewhat. To have the depth to win the last 2 rounds ( at least in my eyes) was testament to his toughness and determination.
          Good fight, Respect to both and I hope Steven gets more opportunities.

            Seems the same to me. He does not look like he has IT. Very basic and lack urgency when he fights. Plus he won't be able to stay at 168 for much longer and will probably struggle more at 175.
