Pep v Pedroza?

Pep by split decision in a closer fight than anyone expects.

 

Saddler was really a "Jr. Lightweight" size fighter...moving around fighting in what now is 3 separate divisions.
On December 6, 1949, Saddler defeated Orlando Zulueta by a 10-round split decision to win the vacant National Boxing Association World Junior Lightweight Championship. He became the weight division's first world champion since 1933.
After Saddler regained the World Featherweight Championship, the NBA ceased to recognize him at junior lightweight under its rule that a champion could only hold one title at a time. When Saddler knocked out Diego Sosa in Cuba on February 28, 1951, the Cleveland Boxing Commission recognized the fight as being for the World Junior Lightweight Championship. The weight division then fell into disuse until 1959.
