    I've never seen this one done before and it sounds interesting.

    I've seen only a small amount of Laguna, so I can't make a serious prediction, to those who have seen a good amount of both, how would it play out?

    Laguna is a greater lightweight by body of work done imo, this is a close h2h contest though. Laguna might be able to take a decision, boxing, flurrying and dodgin stuff inside. But i think the style matchup is bad for Laguna. Esteban has a better offense, and can land counters when Laguna gets close, and then hit combos and outgun Laguna inside, will have to keep it consistent though, because if he tires the Ismael takes points.

    I'll pick Dejesus, but either way on an on day.

    The Laguna who beat Carlos Ortiz first time around would win against DeJesus. Laguna had the speed of a greased lightning that fight.
    But it is a fight I would have loved to see.

    I think Laguna takes a wide UD after some competitive early rounds.If this was a less than prime Laguna, then DeJesus has a chance.

    I think Laguna is faster, and would box a bit better......but this is hard to call because what teeto said, DeJesus has a better offense.....very close fight....

    P4P Laguna was a better fighter imo, but I like Dejesus at lightweight and probably irrespective of weight in a h2h sense too because of his better offensive ability.
