Here is the thing. Andy Lee fought the wrong fight. Vera has a hard head and Lee got ktfo fighting Vera's fight. Lee in the rematch easily outboxed Lee by fighting his own fight.
Vera pushed the issue early against Chavez, but in the end, he was the one backing up. His punches lost steam and it was probably just like he said. He never fought above 170 lbs.
Junior knew that he couldn't trade with Vera. Vera loves a good scrap. Junior moved, gave Vera angles until he thought that it was safe to trade. Smart. Vera had a big chance, and he lost it...possibly through no fault of his own.
I don't condone what Junior did with the multiple weight issues that were finally agreed upon. That disgusted me, but Junior won make no mistake about it. I couldn't give Vera 6 rounds, and on my card, but had a chance for a draw going into the 10th on my card.
Vera showed enough that I'll watch him until he retires.
