    15 rounds, 6 oz gloves (?)

    If you don't give a reason then your answer won't be counted.

    Esteban's defensive mastery serves him well in this one as he earns a UD victory. Although he had a couple of opportunities for the TKO late.

    Okay i've never seen Erne, but i read in Gans' book that he was very skilled and dealt with Gans very well the first time, kept catching the old master downstairs and up, and his opponent there was one of the finest counterpunchers many believed to have seen. Still i have seen some very nice work done by Dejesus with my own eyes, and he beat a man with a (in my opinion) superior skillset in Duran once also. Dejesus fends off Erne's well timed attacks enough to 'Erne' himself a decision a victory.

    Erne starts well taking the first 3 rounds on most scorecards before running into a huge left-hook from De Jesus.

    Erne gets back up but after 15 secs of sustained punishment the ref calls a halt to the bout.
