Moore was dangerous all the way, and Yarosz was just smart enough to keep his chin in the clear." Moore was the aggressor, except for the last two rounds, when Teddy, feeling that Archie had spent his heaviest fire, took chances with Moore's Sunday punches. Yarosz was simply too clever for Moore at this stage of his career. However, Ray Arcel (Yarosz's trainer) said about Moore: "He'll be a great fighter in a year from now. All he needs is experience."
