Mauricio Herrera: The Maestro Of Riverside-The Light Welterweight California Spoiler.

It shocked the hell out of me that they actually went ahead and screwed him over with the Benavidez fight, I figured after all of the hoopla stirred up after the Garcia decision they wouldn't have the guts to. I was wrong.:-(

 

:dealHerrera will be facing Hammerin' Hank Lundy in July, hopefully Mauricio can get a legit win this time.

 

:deal

 

I figured I'd rewatch and rescore Mike vs Mauricio again since it was a damn close match just for the hell of it.
Alvarado Vs. Herrera RBR.
