    Hope all day, every day. Twice on Sunday. Too skilled for the limited Gazo and I don't think Gazo could land cleanly enough to damage him.

    Gazo was a glorified club fighter. Hope wasn’t elite but he was a world championship level fighter.

    Hope carves him up and takes him out within five. Gazo’s offense is crude and Hope wouldn’t be able to miss him.

    The championship version of Gazo was better by far than even just a couple years afterwards. He might last the 15 just on grit and will and toughness, but no way does he have the skill or the offense to hurt Hope or get past his defense enough to win substantial rounds.
