Good call...congrats
When Viloria scored the flash knock-down in the 9th, I thought it was all over for Nino
Romero was winning the 9th until the flash k-d, so instead of a 10-9 round for Romero it turned into a 10-8 round for Viloria. I figured that 3 point swing would cost me some cash, but it ended up giving me a +1600 draw winner.

Cheers, you were abit unlucky with the Arnoutis by decision prop...most people I spoke to think Mike won a close but comfortable decision.
I was impressed by Pacquiao again, still only 27 and improves everytime you see him.
The work rate of both guys fluctuated all night, but yes Torres did outwork Arnaoutis in a lot of rounds. Torres punches were much harder, I could see why the judges would give him the close rounds. I think Torres shots were hurting Mike and kept him from wanting to trade
Mike dropped Torres and had him badly hurt halfway through the fight but it was late in the round and Mike wasn't able to finish him. Torres seemed to be OK when he came out for the next round and Mike didn't try to prove otherwise
Like lark said, the fight could've gone either way
i didn`t see it.....but it always strikes me that two relatively savvy boxing people can watch a bout and see it differently.....from fightnews...
" Ricardo Torres (30-1, 27 KOs) outworked previously unbeaten Mike Arnaoutis (17-1-1, 9 KOs) over twelve rounds to claim the vacant WBO world super lightweight title formerly held by Miguel Cotto. Arnaoutis dropped Torres hard in round seven, but didn't finish him off when he had the chance. ""Torres never looked like the fearsome puncher that faced Cotto"", but was busy enough to win 116-111 and 114-113 on two cards. Arnaoutis prevailed 114-113 on the other card"....
that`s what makes boxing interesting,i guess....
