Results and analysis: Berchelt, Corrales, Barrera win on HBO Boxing

Miguel Berchelt and Takashi Miura may not have delivered the fight of the year some were anticipating, but they certainly turned in a great fight. From the beginning, it was clear that Berchelt was the superior boxer, as he used combinations, handspeed, and nice angles to land more shots. But Miura never gave up, staying in the fight throughout. As Berchelt worked both the body and the head, Miura would constantly move forward, never showing that he was hurt. The heavier puncher, Miura kept going for the big left hand KO, either to the head or the body. Those lefts landed clean and staggered Berchelt a few times, but he showed his chin and his heart and stayed in it.
