I expected this one to be the one for the challenge, I was really doubting my decision.
No extra bet... For me that's like jinxing the bout directly against you :yep

I disagree, but I don't think you're crazy at all.
(I deleted the paragraph after this that I wrote in analysis of this fantasy fight because it was rambling all over the place and ultimately open-ended)


PS: Give me some extra points for all the writing I did do, that you now have no proof of. Okay? Thanks.

Jhonny Gonzalez-Rogers Mtagwa: Jhonny Gonzalez via KO

Jhonny Gonzalez is one of the many great fighters in the loaded 126 division. Gonzalez has a good resume and is P4P one of the hardest hitters in all of boxing. Big, big power from Gonzalez. 4 of his 7 losses came early in his career, and his other 3 are from the likes of Israel Vazquez, Gerry Penalosa, and Toshiaki Nishioka. Pretty much a whos who of the 118-122 pound divisions and the thing is, he was stopped in all those, but he was in all of those fights, and even winning at the time of those stoppages. Early this year he went to Japan and knocked out the super fighter of Hozumi Hasegawa, so he definitely earned this world title. Took a bit of a tune up two months ago and is now fighting Rogers Mtagwa/ Mtagwa is known for almost beating and knocking out Juan Manuel Lopez which is now about 2 years ago now. Last year in January, he fought Gamboa and it was a blitzkrieg. This was during the time Arum was still "marinating" the Lopez-Gamboa super fight and Gamboa was just too quick and too strong for the durable strong Mtagwa. He's only been stopped 3 times, including Gamboa, and he was stopped in 5 to Orlando Salido, who just upset JuanMa earlier this year. So, now that we have come full circle, let's make a pick. I've got Jhonny Gonzalez knocking out Mtagwa. I think he is too strong for him and stops Mtagwa in the mid rounds ala Orlando Salido. Mtagwa is tough and Gonzalez is vulnerable himself. I think this is an entertaining fight, but Gonzalez is too strong for Mtagawa.

Side note. Antonio Escalante is making a come back fight against Pipino Cuevas Jr. A ten round fight against a journeyman who Escalante should beat and stop. If he doesn't beat him, it's time to hang up the gloves. Mickey Roman is on the undercard as well fighting Antonio Mesa, a very beatable fighter as well. So, may'be a rematch versus Escalante-Roman is in the cards down the line. We shall see.
