    It was a tactical battle

    But not all Lockridge fights were boring

    Rocky Lockridge W15 Harold Knight
    Tony Lopez W12 Rocky Lockridge
    Juan Laporte KO 2 Rocky Lockridge
    Rocky Lockridge KO 1 Roger Mayweather

    Chavez was a huge favorite and it surprised many how competitive Rocky was

    He would go on to annex the IBF title and defend a few times before losing a war to Tony Lopez.

    He also had interesting/entertaining battles w/ Pedroza x2 & Boza edwards.

    Come to think of it, this is the 1st that I can recall any1 characterizing him as "boring."
