I mean, is anyone surprised?
This seemed like one of those fights people would throw out there for a “dream matchup” discussion, and it pretty much delivered right up until Cerrone’s right eye was swollen shut before the start of the third round. Naturally, “Cowboy” wanted to fight, and Ferguson wasn’t all too happy with how things ended, but it was the show we all expected. Afterward, even Furgeson had trouble processing it.
“It was f***ing crazy,” he said. “It felt like a firework. It was just ready to go.”
Cerrone looked like he dictated the frenetic action in the first round, but , as Ferguson is one to do, pushed the tempo even higher in the second and started to take the momentum.
