By staging it at light flyweight it gives Gonzalzez a chance imo, as Segura greatly struggles to make weight apparently, so I could see him getting some rounds, but in the end Segura will prove just too big for him and stop RG late.
I agree with you two. Gonzalez would definetly have his moments early on, but Segura would eventually wear down Gonzalez and stop him late, somewhere around the 10th or 11th. What a great fight this would be. :happy
