ESPN: José Pedraza González vs. Mikkel LesPierre & Albert Laron Bell vs. Mark Vincent Bernáldez RBR

I expect Robiesy to beat Gonzales handily this time. Pedraza and Bell are in basic sparring matches.

 

Based on what? Gonzales threw 25 punches more per round in the first fight and was outworking Robeisy easily. Robeisy lacks a decent jab and he has some bad flaws from the amateurs. They will rob Gonzales for sure this time but i think this will be a super close fight. I hope Gonzales pulls it off. But i think Top Rank won't let Robeisy lose a second time that early in his career. Gonzales probably needs another Knockdown. Those judges were all over the place in those last few events anyway so little hope for Gonzales without another KD.

I'm looking forward to Bell vs. Beraldez. Decent fight. Bell is legit.

Also a very good fight between Jackson and Vivas. Really, really excited for a good reason.

 

He will take him seriously this time.

 

So he will start to use his jab? Or he will raise his output? I think Gonzales has his number. Robeisy doesn't like to get pressured and outworked by a high volume. I think Gonzales will make it close, probably every round, but loses a bull**** decision a la 60-54, 60-54, 59-55.

 

Robiesy has raised his output considerably the last couple fights. He knows he CANT lose to this guy again.

 

He raised his output because his opponents didn't throw as much as Gonzales and they also were not as slick as Gonzales who has very good footwork and good movement in general.

 

Bro, relax the guy is just getting started in his career. Tons of guys who end up being good have really weird early losses. He’s adjusting to the pro game. If he loses again here it’s a VERY bad one. He won’t.

 

Ramirez should win this time, however I think Ramirez is at the wrong weight class. He looks soft in there at 126 and I think that helped Gonzalez pull off the upset last year along with how slow and lackadaisical Robeisy started. Ramirez should probably be at 118.

 

He started slow? He was brawling with Gonzales for about 2 minutes in Round 1. Just didn't land enough. Robeisy is overrated. He's not going anywhere with his style and flaws in the pro ranks. He will get exposed again once he steps up. He needs a good coach who changes his style. He has so much bad habits from the amateurs.

 

Robeisy is a -1600 favorite in the rematch. The books obviously think the first fight was a fluke.

 

Come on Adan!
