Loi would have to work to get inside the longer arms of the taller and harder hitting Kid Pambele...and over the 15 round distance I think he would have been able to do it and score to Cervantes body when he gets there. Loi was rugged and had the chin and the smarts to eke out a hard fought 15 rounbd decision. Neither man would go down but both would show the effects of the battle. Loi would just be stronger than Cervantes, and that would have made the critical difference in the later rounds.
