    Good scores. Fun fight. Would love to see a rematch down the line.

    Even la Maravilla gave him props and clapped respectfully.

    Split decision: 115-112 for Velez, overruled by 114-113 x2 for Arboleda

    I'm getting good at this scoring thing. :eusa_dance:

    I guarantee that plenty of Puerto Rican’s showed up to watch.

    Yeah, I gave Velez the first two rounds, but Arboleda dominated the 4th through the 9th, did enough to win the 3rd and 11th by a hair. It wasn't a remotely controversial decision.

    ...but another popular boricua is fighting tonight (Bimbito, who is a world titlist and considerably younger & fresher than ever-the-bridesmaid Vélez) - probably somewhat diminishing what his turnout could've been.

    64% on Showtime's poll on Twitter felt Vélez should have won. Eh, having caught the last quarter of the fight and seeing the Farhood and @CST80 scorecards, I'm not sure there's any controversy to see here.
