My bad....Bull**** WIDE UD!!! I scored it 116-113. But there was NO way that was 119-110 - 117-111 -118-111. I thought Vera fought well and won several rounds. But a UD that wide would make people think that Vera never even showed up...NOT TRUE AT ALL!!!
Lee has said he would step in as Vera's opponent on short notice. If Vera agrees, that could be a great fight for the card.
There is a clause in the Pavlik/Vera contract that allows a 30 day window for rescheduling the fight within 90 days. Top Rank paid Vera's training expenses in advance. Vera got a shitload of promotion in the press.
Arum's a shithead if he bumps vera considering andy Lee was vocal on fightnews about stepping in for pavlik to get revenge. I for one think that fight would be more competititve and more relevant too.
Either have him fight Andy Lee or just take him off the card. Thats really the only fight i would like to see out of Vera. I would much rather watch a guy with a real future in boxing in Rios. And you know his fight will be exciting too.
