Difficult fight to watch but not to score. Arthur was more active and actually tried to mount an offense, meanwhile Arroyo was just... There. It was a depressing decision, even Arroyo's corner kept telling him to let his hands go between rounds, I'm sure they knew he was way too behind to win on the cards. However, Texas. That is all.Comment
