Junior lightweight contender Juan Carlos Burgos did everything he needed to do in order to win a world title on Saturday night at the Theater at Madison Square in New York, yet he didn't get to walk out of the ring with the belt. That is because his title challenge against Roman "Rocky" Martinez was ruled a split draw, allowing the undeserving Martinez (26-1-2, 16 KOs) to keep the 130-pound belt in his first defense. It's not that Martinez fought badly, it's just that Burgos fought better and, in the opinion of many at ringside (not to mention all of those who tweeted to me), deserved the decision.
