Who....? I go for Pedroza by clear decision. Would be mobile enough to evade Hamed's big shots,and punish the Sheffield man with counters.
Hamed would be way out of his league against Pedroza. He's be subjected to the worst mugging of his life.
What Pedroza would do to him would be the dirty version of what MAB did to him....only over 15 rounds.
Wouldn't surprise me at all...Pedroza just got stronger, meaner and dirtier as the the fight wore on...he did the 15 round route exceptionally well. Pedroza, by the way, was way past his best when he lost to Mcguigen IMO.
Even McGuigan admitted that Pedroza may have beaten him in a prime for prime scenario. Would still have been a good fight,though.
I could see Hamed possibly dropping Pedroza early, as Pedroza sometimes liked to mix aggresively with heavier punchers, instead of using his height and reach advantages, but would be unable to finish it because of his sporadic and inconsistent attack and pedroza's remarkable recovery powers. Pedroza is one of the few feathers who could have, in reverse, have gotten under naz's skin with his closeups mugging and low/kidney shots. In a 15 round fight, Naz will be unravelling and exhausted by round 12 and would do well to last the distance.
Naz has a punchers chance, Pedeoza liked to get involved. If Pedroza sticks behind his jab and builds his pace as we know he's capable of he ends up clowning Naz late and winning a wide decision. What will hold him in good stead is the fair few awkward stylists Pedroza faced during his reign. Hamed could win though, he hit hard and while Pedroza always looked solid around his best he wasn't infallible in the chin department.
