    Is Villa biting off more than he can chew in the first round against the bigger, stronger power-puncher in Borkhorsor?

    Villa takes it away from the puncher.

    Even McLarnin couldn't stop Villa when Villa was suffering infection and had had teeth removed 24 hours before the fight, and McLarnin was blasting at that weight. Wide, wide UD.

    Rough fight through the first 10 rounds with Borkorsor's body work slowing Villa down. I see Borkorsor stepping it up through the last five winning a close but comfortable decision.

    Agreed, Villa to set a frantic pace and move in and out landing combos to head and body and take what comes his way. Close decision.

    I have not seen anything of Borkhorsor but I have heard very, very good things about him.

    Anyone that can **** Gonzalez like that has to be very handy. I have seen a fair bit of Betulio and it took very good-great fighters just to beat him, let alone dominate him and force him to quit.

    He certainly would have been the bigger man in there...Given from reports he was robbed at his shot at the Bantam title.

    Villa liked it physical..could this spell doom against a guy who is bigger and world class to boot? Im willing to believe it if someone who has seen a bit of Venice could convince me.
    Otherwise Id be making a real stretch to pick against Pancho.

    I may be wrong here..But didnt Mantequilla put Borkhorsor in his top 5 H2H flyweights he had seen on film?

    Thats a pretty big wrap coming from him if thats what he said.

    Any Flyweight that could turn Rafael Herrera's (the same man who twice conquered Bantamweight King Ruben Olivares) face into hamburger must've been some kind of monster.

    borkhorsor wins a wild fight i think his extra power and size wears villa down enough to out work villa late on to get a decision

    just an opinion :scaredas:

    **** it. If you haven't seen footage of the fighter in question, your vote doesn't count. That is of course providing that there actually is footage of said fighter.
