The two matches before the main event in Vegas had interesting names in them (Julio Cesar Chávez Jr., son of the famous Mexican fighter, was one; Yuri Foreman, a Belarussian-born Israeli boxer now living in Brooklyn, N.Y., was another), but they were anemic - and not just in comparison to the electric battle between Cotto and Pacquiao.
