i agree! at 160, i'd say fernandez is a shade harder puncher and more durable. many felt he took the decision against fullmer (though in utah, that was gonna be tough). for me, fernandez by TKO 14. great fight
I think Fernandez is susceptible to an early ko against decent fast starter with a punch..though I feel Fernandez is better and more well rounded, i reckon Mugabi has a stylistic and tactical advantage here. Tough call..very tough. Either John gets him early or Fernandez gets him late.
Good call. Fernandez faced much better opposition IMO and was better skilled but he'd have to stay away from that booming overhand right of Mugabi's. Either way it's bombs away from the start in this one.
Fernandez a better all around fighter, though their power is about even. Fernandez by a late tko..in 12 or 13...he was more proven against better opposition.
A very hard fight to ponder...Like Whatarock, I could see Mugabi hurting Fernandez early and winning, and Fernandez beating Mugabi from mid to late rounds. Brutal, brutal fight. Would lean towards Fernandez KO 6.
