    Does Accavallo out-box and stave off the southpaw Gushiken, or does he get overwhelmed by Gushiken's versatility?

    Interestingly, I'd guess both of these things happen with Gushiken taking it on two of the three cards in a disputed decision.

    Oh, man, this is a tight one. I see Accavallo squeaking by the harder banging Gushiken on work rate alone. This would be a great one to watch.

    With my praise of Gushiken the master earlier today then i guess you know who i'm picking. But one thing i want to say is the experience factor, Accavallo has multiple quality wins and never technically lost inside the flyweight limit. 50/50 in my opinion.

    The right answer is likely not mine, but i've seen much more of Gushiken and take him to feint and counter in mid ring and press the action enough to pull ahead on the cards.

    Accavallo by MD.

    Super super even fight going the distance. Accavallo slightly ahead because i think he would do better in the last rounds.
