Is this actually signed? Solid fight. Who I feel bad for is Lerrone Richards. He beats Gongora and his career stalls. Was supposed to fight Chelli, which would have been a good fight and faints after the weigh in and hits his head.
Christian Mbilli vs. Carlos Gongora is the mother****ing definition of a 50/50 fight. Not sure why so think Mbilli should be the favorite? Gongora has 5 inch advantage height wise, he has an excellent chin, he's a southpaw, with the same reach. One of the few times Mbilli has gone the distance was against a bummy Mexican journeyman, who was a southpaw. Most of his amateur losses are against southpaws. Of the two, Gongora easily has the best win, against Akhmedov. Sure Gongora has a loss against Lerrone Richards, but it was a damned close, 115-113 type fight, and most look bad against Richards, most likely Mbilli would lose as well. But Gongora loves to look for openings to land his counter lefts, counter left uppercuts, and right hooks. Mbilli isn't a hard target to find, there's plenty of openings there for Gongora to exploit. If he can crack Akhmedov's chin, I don't doubt he can crack the overrated Mbilli's. Quite frankly, I think Gongora should be seen as the overwhelming favorite here.
