Salvador 10-9 in an uneventful round. Vergara just gave that round away by being too cautious. He's never been this passive before. He usually wades through fire.

Salvador can't use that style against faster guys, which is like 90% of this division. all a fast guy sees is a target with no guard lol

I don't know what CJ is waiting on. I'm convinced that this is a winnable fight for CJ if he pressures Salvador more and ups his output. Perhaps it's the altitude? Not sure what's going on
