Re: BTW Season Week #21 All Title Fights
ya, Pac & Brown traded rounds for the first 5 rounds 
I thought Pac had pulled ahead enough that the 2 knockdowns were only going to make it a draw until the end of the fight when I saw the split decision

Re: BTW Season Week #21 All Title Fights
It looks like Jofre vs. Fenech was a draw after 10 Rounds and after 12 Rounds until Jofre turned up the heat in the championship rounds to pull slightly ahead and steal a win from Fenech in his home country nontheless
Re: BTW Season Week #21 All Title Fights
Well done Pac.
Re: BTW Season Week #21 All Title Fights
Some cracking fights there. Pac, Cabellero, Joltin' Jeff, Hernan and Jofre all proving to be top guys, again 
Re: BTW Season Week #21 All Title Fights
Jeff Chandler wins his WTF Title back to become the 2x WTF Champion.
That was a sweet victory on 2 levels. Getting the belt back for Chandler, winning the Rubber match against Williams
I was nervous coming to those scorecards. The judges just know that Chandler is the greatest WTF Champion, and the belt couldn't possibly be in better hands
