Azumah Nelson vs Eusebio Pedroza

And elbow attack, and bollock attack, and head-butt attack. It's just a lethal combination, Arkid has some up with.

 

Nelson gave Sanchez hell for most of the fight. Though I don't see Pedroza stopping Nelson, I do see him not having the problems Sanchez had with him. Especially at that point in Nelson's career having only 13 pro fights.

 

I'm not so sure. One might be able to draw a parallel between Nelson and another strong pressure fighter who was well-trained yet relatively inexperienced, Rocky Lockridge. He gave Pedroza a world of hell the first time.

 

Very true and a excellent point. However Pedroza fought Lockridge twice, the 2nd fight Lockridge had much more experience yet Pedroza handled him easier. which tells me Pedroza probably didn't take Lockridge seriously the 1st time.
Lockridge wasn't as good as Nelson though and your point is something to think about. I forgot Pedroza fought Lockridge to be honest.

 

Pedroza wins a close, controversial decision over 15. Cant see this fight being for 12.

 

Very tough fight for both guys. I can see this fight go either way by very close, disputed decision. Pedroza's slick movement, body punching, and dirty tactics can give Nelson issues but I can also see Nelson providing the same problems that guys like Lockridge and McGuigan gave to Pedroza as well.

This would have been interesting to see had they fought in 1985.

 

I like Pedroza by close decision

 

One of my own favourite hypothetical match ups. Prime for prime I see Eusebio winning by close decision. His reach would split the difference. But could easily go either way.

 

Nelson late tko.
