    My take-

    Camacho's, (as always) big asset here is his handspeed, when he gets close to let the hands fly though, he can be caught by body shots by Mando. On the outside i like Msndo's jab which was a very potent weapon. But over the course i see Camacho's handspeed getting the nod, even over 15 rounds.

    Camacho on points.

    Close, close fight imo. Ramos was just about holding his own against Laguna who was a great lightweight, almost as quick as Hector and way, way more slippery than him.

    I see the fight being near even after about 12 rounds, but Camacho's quick hands are likely to open some cuts on Mando, and force a ref stoppage.

    Camacho by UD : He'll dance his way to a flashy but not very substantative decision victory.

    I'll go with Ramos then. Over 15 rounds I can't see Camacho dancing his way out of harm the entire time. I think Ramos was more effective than Rosario in close range, even if he didn't have quite the same punch. He'd eventually get to Camacho, the bout likely being somewhat even on the cards over 12 until Ramos turned it up in the championship rounds.

    Macho, very full of himself and not yet the gunshy post-Rosario runner, would have entirely too quick for Mando and would have won nearly every round up to round 6, then would have turned it on and 2 knockdowns and Ramos, his mouthpiece spit out and using the ropes to pull himself up, would have subjected to another barrage, and the ref would have stopped it while holding onto Ramos to keep him from going through the ropes for a wild tko ending...somewhat like the ending of Gomez-Zarate.

    Combine speed that knows no equal with non stop lateral movement along with his southpaw style, and Hector cruises to a unam decision barely touched-much the way he did with Edwards and Ramirez

    True, but he has other attributes that can trouble Ramos although over 15 rounds I see Mando coming on late outworking Camacho on the inside. Camacho would be throwing his flashy combinations scoring effectively early but I see Ramos's methodical work on the inside slowing Camacho down for late stretch.

    Ramos UD or late stoppage

    Camacho comes out fast & piles up the points. Scoring a huge lead over the first half of the fight. & Hangs on in the second half(literally) Ramos is fustrated by Camacho's clinching & realizes he gave away too many early rounds. Camacho UD.
