    I'm going with Chacon on points here. Thoughts?

    This could be a great fight. A big factor in who wins could wind up being how well Genaro's hands hold up. He was a much, much harder puncher than his ko record indicates and you can see in many of his fights how he starts off setting down on his punches, then eases up because of his hands.
    If his hands hold up, Hernandez could very well win this with his height and reach advantages and sharp body punches. In any case he would likely mark Chacon up pretty well in the early rounds. But if his hands go, and Chacon notices, he'll come on strong.

    Chacon by clear decision. Just a better fighter than Hernandez, with a much deeper resume.

    Hernandez is all wrong for Chacon. Taller, rangier, better handspeed. Solid backfoot boxer who isn't as likely to give Schoolboy the chance to drop right hands. Could grind on the inside when required/ Enough power to get Chacon's attention, and certainly to bust him up.

    He's in my avatar, but that's because I think he's terribly underrated. This is the kind of match-up that would illustrate it.

    Hernandez clear UD
