    This is a good fight; it's hard to predict the winner.

    Bek a bit sloppy with a suspect gas tank for me in this one.
    Should be fun though.

    Pretty good fight honestly. Two action fighters, should be a lot of fun.

    good match up
    it has potential to be a barn burner of a fight.

    A solid fight, could go either way, but I narrowly favour the quality and experience of Munguia to get him through.

    The only question is, could he be shopworn by this point despite him not being old?

    he absolutely could be shopworn. think about the brawls youve seen him in along with being brutally knocked out by the french hero bruno surace. i also have a feeling he spars hard

    That’s the feeling I get too. Given the fact he never had a great defence, imagine all the punches we don’t see him get tagged with in spars.

    And the fact he got KO’d, not TKO’d, actually KO’d by feather fisted Surace does lead me to agree with your assumption on him sparring hard, because sure, he’s had hard fights, but to get KO’d by someone as feather fisted as Surace did seem shocking even considering that.

    Should've happened at least 3 years or so ago but still a good fight.

    Munguia will probably win a close controversial decision

    Hell of a fight! I think Munguia will break him down late in the fight and get a get a stoppage around the 10th round.

    Legit 50/50 fight Munguia looked very good in his last fight but Melikuziev has legit power and Mungia doesn't move his head FOTY candidate for sure
