    Twin matchup,hoho..
    Style:both were mostly the same,although Pedroza probably had more power,as he's more able to plant his feet and remain elusive,while Marcel always refuses to stay stationary.
    Speed:hmm, Marcel by foot speed,hand speed is arguable but Marcel by thin margin for me.
    Chin: Pedroza was knocked out early in his career, Marcel was never stopped except that one time vs DurĂ n,and even so that's arguable enough.
    Skills:hmm.. Pedroza is more well rounded with many tricks,legal or not he can pull off,but Marcel always knew how to set up a beautiful trap that'll cut up his opponents, Pedroza won in arsenals but Marcel won on side arrays of use.
    Who wins?

    Marcel would have given Pedroza a lot of trouble with his speed, angle and movement. Bernard Taylor gave Pedroza a tough night by using lateral movement but just didn't engage enough, which resulted in an underwhelming Draw. The difference between Marcel and Taylor would be Marcel's trickier style and was quick to pounce on his opponents with swarming attacks unexpectedly. Marcel is also capable of matching Pedroza's stamina, workrate and slick upper body movement. I also think Marcel's footwork was better as well. Pedroza's aggressive body attack would be his best chance to slow down Marcel.

    I'll take Marcel to edge Pedroza in a fascinating chess match where Pedroza is forced to be the come forward fighter. Both fighters will definitely use some rough house tactics involved as well.
