    I like Hamed here. TKO late.

    Terrific bout but just see Bobby getting busted up from the kind of punches Hamed throws. RSC around round 10 w/ Chacon never wanting the bout stopped.

    I think pre drugs and alcohol Bobby Chacon gives him hell,He's a far better talent and skillfull fighter than Augie Sanchez and Cesar Soto in all departments and they got plenty of success,Bazooka Limon looked more like Willie Pep than Cesar Soto

    Augie got executed but still made it dangerous,I cant see a Chacon getting layed out like that

    Paul Ingle for a few rounds give Naz some tough rounds before running straight into a left hander.Wayne McCullough might be as tough as Chacon and he did ok in his defeat,Won plenty of rounds himself

    Bobby is Tougher,A Harder puncher and a better boxer than all of Naz's opponents up until Barrera

    Chacon is no doubt gonna land plenty of pinpoint shots himself here with his straight right down the pipe vs Naseem whos got a chin and half himself but i can see him getting dropped a few times with his hands down and chin on display

    Hard to say that for me,Hamed and Limon might have been stylistically and talent wise different,but both literally punches with a similar technique,Limon probably punches harder.

    And you know what? Chacon took all of those blows and weathered the storm late,I believe he could drag the fight into a close contested war where he would've won by 2-1 points UD.

    If Chacon fights the way he did vs Danny Lopez boxing/moving fighting a smart fight then he has a decent chance of winning.

    If he tries to go to war with Hamed he gets put to sleep.

    I love Chacon and abhor Hamed, but Chacon is just too wide open. You can’t catch that many against Hamed.
