Exposed? Not really. Cherry can be a tough out for anyone if his head is on straight. That said, I believe Gamboa would dominate him at 130lbs, and I would not count out Salido. Pedroza is good, but he's not a special talent like a Lomachenko.
Nah, having a close fight with Cherry doesn't mean you aren't good. Cherry is very solid; newer fans just don't know who he is because he's been off the grid (in terms of American TV) for so long. That said Cherry should've gotten the nod, or at least a draw.
I haven't seen it I was watching Orozco-Soto, but Cherry has a tendency to make some guys look bad, styles make fights most likely Cherry had a bad style for Pedraza....that is all. I'll watch it sometime today.
