    TKO round 5. Young had nothing to keep Rocha off him.

    To be honest, I'm glad this card is over. It wasn't particularly entertaining.

    Solid perfomance from Rocha, he is fairly heavy handed and puts his shots together well. I'd like to see him fight Roiman Villa or Cissokho next - guaranteed action

    Rocha has a couple elite wrinkles to his otherwise predictable game. He could make more noise or get played by a top tier counter puncher. But I see a higher ceiling than I previously thought.

    He was mostly hurt to the body, you're less likely to get up from a body shot.

    Rocha is the goods. I think boots and Rocha would be a hell of a fight.

    Boots would knock Rocha unconscious in 5.

    The last three matches sucked. I was on the verge of falling asleep in the last two.

    In that the underdogs dogs didn't quit like Jerusalem.

    They weren't great fights, but given how Jerusalem went out prior to these two fights, you have to appreciate how Keyes and Young went out on their shields, and also appreciate the level of Duarte and Rocha. Good contenders.
