Any thoughts on this fun match up? Would Kelley be able to handle the punching power of Esparragoza and pull off a surprise comeback or does Esparragoza overpower Kelley to a stoppage?
Id be confident in taking Esparragoza by stoppage. Kelley was entertaining as all hell, and one of my all-time favourites, but he was a very flawed fighter, and AE was very talented. He'd pick Kelley apart with crisp combos and counters, and wear him down before long.
Agreed. Esparragoza takes him apart in a fight that becomes increasingly one-sided as the rounds tick by.
