I always wondered what a match between these 2 unorthodox fighters would look like. I lean towards Paez by decision? Who you got?
Paez was too easy to hit and Hamed could knock out any feather he could catch, coming forwards and throwing loads of shots would have ben suicide vs Hamed.
Perhaps I am wrong and please correct me if I am as I don't remember but did Paez fight at 126? I seem to remember him only at 130 and 135.
Paez made his name at 126. An undefeated title holder for two years, he beat Grove, Stevie Cruz, Dorsey and Luis Espinoza.
I like Paez over 15 but that isn’t fair to Hamed.... Over 12 I think this is a real close fight that could go either way. Hamed was grater for my money just not sure he was better. Hamed has the bigger punch and Paez the better chin. I think this would be fun
Paez liked to brawl too often. He could be cute and outsmart Naseem to get the nod. But I think he would get tagged and rather than cover up and make sure he did not caught again, I reckon he would go for Naseem especially if he is hurt. That falls right into Naseem's trap and Hamed would have enough power to take out the Mexican.
