Mauricio Herrera (born May 24, 1980) is an American professional boxer in the Light Welterweight division.[1][2]
Professional career
On January 7, 2011 Herrera beat the undefeated Ruslan Provodnikov on ESPN's Friday Night Fights to win the USBA Lightweight Championship.[3]
On March 15, 2014 Herrera lost a controversial majority decision to Danny García in a 12 round championship bout for the WBC, WBA (Super) & The Ring Light Welterweight titles, by the scores of 116-112 twice and 114-114. The decision was highly disputed with many members of the media scoring the bout in favor of Herrera, including Showtime Championship Boxing's broadcasting team.[4] The scorecards submitted by judges Carlos Colon and Alejandro Rochin, in particular, drew criticism as their four point advantage for Garcia were not reflective of the action in the ring.[5][6]
