    Everyone who comes into this thread will wrongly pick Marcel.

    Marcel did beat Alexis Arguello so I can see why people would pick him.

    I guess you can put me down as wrong, I think this is a great fight and can't seriously dispute anyone who thinks otherwise . But I like a prime Marcel to outbox him and stay out of the way of Antonio's big punches for a UD. As you pointed out , he clearly beat Arguello and that's a hefty scalp on anyone's belt.

    Interesting because Esparagoza had that power and was tall and rangy but he was more fluid then say an Arguello if that makes sense. I have to think about this one.

    I'm thinking the same. A real 50/50 pick 'em for me.
