Who wins this fight? Seems like everyone is terrified of Espinoza. This is the fight at 126 though, but seems like everyone just wants to wait for Inoue?
Espinoza would win based on a lot of things, but one thing I want to point out is Carrington doesn’t really have “big fight experience” yet. Carlos Castro was a good win, but he hadn’t fought in a year and three months. To be fair, he probably should’ve won the decision over Fulton, but coming off a loss (robbery or not) and a long layoff aren't ideal conditions for any fighter, especially non-elite ones. So I get some of the hype, but I think people are overrating what Carrington has actually proven at the top level.
Don't get the hype at all for Carrington. He lost to Segawa and got a gift decision, and Segawa is a gatekeeper. He beat Castro but tbf Castro was coming off a loss and was inactive. (And no Castro didn't deserve to beat Fulton. The judge that gave it to Castro was clearly watching another fight.) And Castro almost had him knocked out. Hard to say Shu Shu beats any top 10 guys when his only wins are close calls against gatekeepers. Espinoza sends him to the hospital.
Rafael Espinoza is by far the most good 126 lbs of the moment after it's Dayan Gonzalez for me. I can't wait to see Espinoza vs Navarrete at 130 lbs.
Espinoza knocks **** out of Shu Shu. Doesn't have the necessary power or skill to keep him off of him.
Yeah he should move up to face a guy like Carrington who hasn't beat anyone worth talking about instead of fighting a top 5 pound for pound fighter in Bam.. It makes as much sense as all your posts on this site.
I like Shu Shu, but he's fragile and his skills are overrated Espinoza tears through him like crap through a goose.
