    At 130, or 135 if you like.
    Who wins this one ?

    Last recorded time I can find where Esteban made 130 was his 13th fight in a scheduled 8-rounder. He’s nowhere near ready for The Professor at that stage.

    At 135, Nelson is over his best weights and, while durable, overmatched physically. He loses a decision handily.

    Azumah was better pound for pound but Esteban was the better at 135lbs.

    De Jesus by decision.

    DeJesus @ 135 for me. I doubt he could make 130 by the time he started to establish himself

    Azumah is the far more proven fighter, more heart and more resiliance. DeJesus has a great win and great skills but I think Azumah has him well and truly beat for intangibles
