"I wanted to get some good hard rounds in and Primera hung in there." said Leatherwood. "I had him hurt a couple of times and I thought he wasn't going to make to the final bell, but he showed great heart and I give him credit for being a warrior and going the distance.  I'm excited about the plans Boxing 360 has in store for me and I'm looking forward to a great 2013."
