Good fight I thought Pavano would get the decision due to his aggression and workrate.Rau'shee got the nod because of his defense and clean punching cong**** to him becoming a champion

Warren bounced back well, I thought he was going to gas in the 8th & 9th.

Warren's speed was the difference. Payano had no ability to adjust.
