    The smaller, faster pure boxer vs the bigger boxer-puncher? Do Canto's technical and defensive skills win the day, or does Arbachakov's steady pressure eventually wear him down?

    What the ****, Yuri beat Midget? God damn it...well I guess I got to pick Yuri as he somehow tricked his way through like a cheat. Just as you say, the pressure would take and Canto would find himslef pulling in fewer and fewer points as the rounds proggressed. A close decision lost in the straight in a close fun fight.

    I like Canto's no nonsense highly technical workmanship to edge this one out.

    Yuri was an excellent fighter himself but in every fight I have seen of him his "steady" pressure borders on lazy..very much a guy who can be a coaster.

    Miguel shades it by a pretty slim margin.

    Definitely Canto. Vast gulf between them in terms of defensive abilities, which will end up being the difference.

    After seeing a bit of both i'm finding it hard to say definitively. But i like Canto a lot and i'm picking him in the type of bout that has many rounds which have the viewers split in opinion, but the judges recognise the defensive, but not flashy work done by Canto and he nicks it.

    I like Canto's defensive skill to avoid the long range attack & Miguel will be able to move inside & outwork Yuri on the inside. Miguel by UD.

    Canto's precise boxing takes him to a split dec over Arbachakov, but the fight is close due to Arbachakov's strength and power.

    I think I may also go with Canto in this one.

    Cantos clever boxing beats the steady but technically correct pressure. Canto just has that extra dimension over Yuri.

    But ill be the first to admit i havent saw alot of yuri just a small clip
