PLACE YOUR BETS !
I got a belief that Trinidad will knock out Apuro.
The last time Apuro got legit knocked out was on November 11, 2007 against Frankie Skipton for the Flyweight Title and that was in the 12th round of a fight he was winning.
Apuro has never felt the power of a Welterweight the calibur of Trinidad. I am betting it all on Trinidad. If I lose, I have to sign over the 36 Chambers to TOS....

Apuro Narrowly Escapes Trinidad!
5 Division World Champion & #1 P4P Fighter In The World, Juan "Apuro" Herrera successfully defended the Undisputed Welterweight Championships against #1 Contender, Puerto Rican Star Trinidad by narrowly escaping with his titles with a Majority Decision victory. The fight showed Apuro's excellent counter punching style against the aggressive power hitting style of the young Puerto Rican Star. The Judges scored the fight as follows, 116-113, 116-114, 115-115. After the fight, Trinidad gave Apuro credit for going the distance but demanded an immediate rematch to get a clear winner. It's up the champ if he wants to follow up and give the young lion another crack at the Undisputed Titles.

Unbeaten contender Jarret "White Light" Sharp has again accused the worlds top welterweights of avoiding him. Sharp 20/0/0 (15 KO's), has labelled his rivals as cowards and claims fighters like Mike Taylor should be in a wooden box rather than asking for title fights.
Sharp said, "Fuck Mike Taylor man. I saw that old mother fucker asking for a title fight and I damn near punched the screen in. Taylor is a fuckin has-been with a shit record and an overrated profile. He is at the bottom of the queue and if he wants to dispute that I will fight him right here right now. Trinidad don't deserve another shot at the title. I do. Fuck Trinidad. He had his chance and he blew that mother fucker. The champ, Herrera is a good enough fighter, I'll give him that, but he ain't good enough to compete with me. I will walk right through that mother fucker. I am hungry, I am fuckin damn near starving and I am dangerous. I will become champion of the world. Ain't nobody or nothing gonna get in my way!"
