Sounds about right. Wasn't a difficult fight to score to anyone who actually knows how to score a fight. But when you have a large portion of modern boxing fans who place far greater emphasis on "work rate" than they do clean punching or ring generalship, it's hardly surprising that we'd have so many incorrectly thinking Vera actually has a credible argument for winning.
And let's be honest, the vast majority of those crying about the decision have always disliked ***nior and are particularly upset with his total lack of professionalism in the build up to this fight, so anything less than a total wipeout was always going to be held against him.
This was a nice, comfortable workout for ***nior, which he needed after such a long layoff. Now he can fight again in a matter of two months and prevent blowing up in weight, and Vera can go back to his hometown and brag about doing ten rounds with the champ.
