    I'd give the edge to Arguello. Fenech's strength and pressure could pose trouble for him (especially at this weight, where I don't think Arguello was at his strongest yet), but I think Arguello's power and precise punching win the day in the end.

    Arguello by decision or perhaps late stoppage after a ferocious, bloody battle.

    A boxer-puncher is at a massive advantage against a swarming pressure fighter who is hittable.

    Arguello's precise punching and power can halt the Fenech ferocity and earn a late stoppage.

    Arguello would win this one. Hard to see Fenech bull Alexis around.

    I just watched Arguello vs Leonel Hernandez at 126. Devastating stuff. Fenech would do a better job closing the gap but he'd take some huge shots. Arguello TKO 8.

    Olivares and Escalera were both able to bull him around a fair bit, and even Marcel did a few times in their fight. The question really is for how long would Fenech be able to keep up his bulling tactics, and what price would he pay for them.

    This ends horribly for Fenech.

    Yes guys. Complete slaughter. Like walking straight into a howitzer.

    I wouldn't say a complete slaughter. Fenech gives Arguello a rough fight. But in the end, I cant think of a worse style matchup for Fenech than Alexis. The end result would be Jeff on his back.
