You should have tried to tuck the left hook in behind the gaurd 
I just capped this fight to my PC and watched it again.
3 very weak points taken away from Raheem made it a clear win for Juarez, however without any of the points taken away Rocky still would have won a decision, and I had it 115-112 for Juarez with the KD.
No doubt Raheem has improved (or had a better night) since then.
It was interesting to note that after the 2nd round, Raheem told his corner his legs were gone, and the weight was killing him.
Manny Steward was commentating for HBO, and he mentioned that one year before the fight Raheem was training under him at a very trim 145 lbs. Manny was astounded Raheem had made 126 and said it was a very bad idea to see him cutting that much weight.
The weight loss was evident in Raheem struggling throughout most of the fight. He made a good account of himself, but seemed very sluggish in spots, allowing Rocky to steal rounds by out working him.
Funny that since then Juarez's stock has dropped with the loss to Soto, and Raheem's has sky rocketed with the win over Morales.
