Is it a freaking surprise?
He had the WBC backing him in his home country.... how could he not lose?
Also nice scorecards.... the last one...closely resembles the last 2

What?

It's not a world title at all. It's a vacant interim belt, which just puts you in line to fight the world champ. Next they're going to be calling nabf title holders world champs.

He's not going to fight Cuello because he'd die

How packed was the stadium?

Dunno but it has 40k seats available. None of the articles I've read about it have called it sold out so probably a bit less than that.

Some highlights of the fight here. It's dark but you can see they have a decent sized crowd.
