yes I know that but why was he not given a title shot until now? Weird. Is it confirmed he's fighting JCC jr next?
Does anyone know of non title fights that have gone 12 rounds just as prep? You know to get in those 'championship' rounds? I suppose they usually have some trinket thrown in to make it happen...
So theoretically Lee could of fought a 12 rounder to get his fight against Chavez Jr, even against a can in a warm up? I think it would be a good idea to schedule a fight for 12 rounds even if its not a title or eliminator bout, I don't think any amount of sparring can prepare you to go deep for those extra 2 rounds without experiencing them for real.
