Eh, he was hurt in the 2nd round with a body shot. I'm at the fight and thought he controlled every other round. Kid has nice skills and hand speed but was way too patient against a guy of that caliber IMO. Should've got him out of there before 10 rounds... seemed unwilling to put together more than 3 punches at a time even though opportunities were there. Not impressed but he's a smart boxer with some skills...

Avery Sparrow was impressive. Gotta stop with the wide swings though. Gets off balance quite a bit.

[RightJabLikeZab]

Ah. Sparrow was actually supposed to fight Roach in this main event.
