    Pedroza would hold a slight lead on the cards before succumbing to a DQ

    Similar to the Barrera fight.

    It would be close but i think that dirty SOB Pedroza does enough to out-hustle Marquez.

    Idk but thats one hell of a fight! Pedroza was stopped at least 3 times earlier in his career in lower weights, but he seemed to fill out and be at his strongest at 126. He could be crafty, maybe even more than Jmm, but he was a dirty fighter too liked to brawl and could take it 15 rounds. Tall for a featherweight to. Has record for most FW defenses. He fought sloppy at times he barely beat LaPorte, but I think he would struggle with Marquez. He was past it when he faced McGuigan. Eusebio did throw some nice bodyshots from time to time and had power, but Marquez might of probably figured him out late in the fight. Jmm had tremendous power, speed, and combination punching at featherweight. Both liked to go to war and moat likely knockdowns frpm both sides. I think Eusebio also known for his stamina so if the fight was close he might of won the last round, but I think Jmms upper and Pedrozas bodyattack were equally dangerous. But I have to give the edge to Pedroza. Alittle craftier than Juan still and could counter beautifully, but he had a defense that would trouble anyone. No disrespect to McGuigan, but he got lucky he got a past it Pedroza. Even the great Sanchez woulda had his hands full

    Maybe SD for Pedroza, but Jmm takes the rematch. Too close to call.
