    Pedroza vs Armstrong 15 rds Featherweight Championship of the World 1930's time frame.
    Does Pedroza have the type of style to cause Hank fits?
    Predictions please

    He would definitely be the favorite. What got me thinking about this is how badly Zivic broke him down. There styles are different but at there core they are extremely tough with a give no or take no quarter mind set. There in there to win regardless. I respect your opinion alot. Do you see any stylistic problems Pedroza brings to this

    Hey Buddy, Pedorza brings anyone trouble at 126lbs. What a brawl this would be!

    I no brained and picked Armstrong the day this was posted but i've been thinking about this matchup for the past days and i gotta say i'm not sure who would come out victorious in a bout like this

    obviously you've got the tenacity and relentless intelligent wisdom of Armstrong's inside game but man Pedroza was a backyard dog in the ring, one mad dirty scientist

    hopefully we get someone more informed and knowledgeable on both of these guys so he can come up with a plausible veridict cuz **** my head just hurts thinking about it

    Zamora crushed Pedroza in two rounds. At 126, Hank became the ONLY guy to ever stop uber rugged ATG Syrian Petey Sarron in 156 bouts, and Armstrong finished with 100 career knockouts.

    Look at Eusebio's record. He never defeated a puncher at Armstrong's level, and Hank was perfectly capable of bombing a big name opponent out quickly.

    Peak Pedroza falls in four rounds.

    Im not the most informed on either but think Armstrong overwhelms him
