    Excuse me, precisely what I was doing was gauging how one fighter does against a particular style. I think that was pretty clear. And in case you're rolling your eyes at Carlos Gimenez, believe me, I remeber Gimenez and he was a badass.

    I'm going with Chavez. What's Cervantes have that he's going to beat Chavez?

    I think prime Cervantes could take 10-11 rounds out of 15 against Julio, and win a UD.

    At 140, I could see it going either way, but I give a slight edge towards Cervantes.

    There is a slight tendency to underrate Kid Pambele based on his losses to Benitez and Pryor.

    Close Chavez win on points imo. A little sharper than Cervantes, and rugged enough to absorb his best best stuff and see the whole journey.

    Will do a fair bit of boxing in this one, as he did in the Randall fights when he saw he couldn't steamroll through him.
