Pedraza will move on as the decision was made by the Judges and not bought like other fighters (Floyd).

Pedraza won that's it.

I'm a Pedraza fan & was obviously rooting for our fighter, but I saw Cherry win..I thought Larry Hazard jr's scorecard was on point..The person who wrote this article is trying to justify Pedraza's victory & the other 2 judges crazy decision of 117-111 on percentage of shots landed, but the fact is that who ever lands more(especially significant punches which Cherry did) wins the fight.Cherry threw a lot more & missed more, but those he missed he made up by landing a lot more than Pedraza..It's like awarding Pedraza for making Cherry miss, even thou Cherry was landing more.

& can't just go on percentage cause if a fighter throws 1 punch & lands it & his opponent throws 10 & lands 4, the fighter who only threw 1 punch landed 100% while the one who landed 4 out of 10 landed at 40%.. If your gonna go on percentage then the guy who did less work & only landed 1 punch would win which is crazy..
