I think it comes down to whether Esparragoza could withstand Hamed's desperate counter swings. He had better fundamentals & more consistent workrate than Hamed, but also a tendency to leave himself open when he cut loose on opponents.
Antonio has never faced someone that fast with that type of power not to mention the crazy angles he throws from. Esparagoza as much as I like him would take a beating in this fight.
I actually would have love to have seen Esparagoza vs Espinosa dream match that would be interesting.
Esparragoza is the more skilled boxer but also leaves himself open to Hamed's unorthodox punching angles, who also punched as hard if not harder than himself. I'll take Hamed to stop Esparragoza at some point in the later rounds. Interesting match up.
Esparragoza is a mystery man and a bit of a cool customer, but his quality of wins are too lean to pick him over Naz.
