    :b1:I'm going with Alexis Rocha because I'm a big fan but he is so inactive that realistically Raul Curiel should win this rematch by UD.

    In any case two very exciting fighters in Welterweight and probably one of the fight of the year 2026 this will be for sure a war !

    I think a draw was fair for the 1st fight. I think Curiel gets a close decision this time around. Should be fireworks again.

    I read that the fight will no longer take place, Rocha had some problems. They're looking for a replacement, and Israel Mercado, 13-1-2 (7 KOs), has been mentioned, but at the moment there's no official name for who will face Curiel. It's a shame, a real shame, Rocha - Curiel 2 was a fight that promised to be another slugfest.
