I did say neither of them was an expert at the uppercut. Both are best leaving that particular tool in the box altogether.
Only time I can recall him throwing one to good effect was in the finish flurry in Peter II, and even that wasn't a very well thrown one. Yeah... Certainly not his best punch to say the least
Maybe El Gallo Negro has some pull in his home state and wanted out of the fight, and found a new way of ducking.:yep
Someone reporter earlier in the heavies thread that the fight was pulled from Boxrec, I had hoped it wasn't true... :-huh
