Marlon Vera Goes The Distance And Gets The Win
4 years agoThough each of the three judges scored the fight differently (29-27, 29-28, 30-26), Marlon Vera (17-7-1) still walked out the victor in a tough-fought, three-round war with Davey Grant on Saturday.

Through 15 minutes of action, Vera landed a very solid number of significant strikes with 105 (112 total strikes). He was also 2-for-2 on his takedown tries.
