    I hate to say that most probably Pacroid wins this one with his relentless pressure and fast paced punching.

    De Jesus is gonna keep things interesting for a while thanks to his skilled counterpunching and toughness.

    But Pacroid is too strong and eventually the pounding takes its toll on De Jesus.

    Pacroid by late stoppage.

    To be honest and considering Pac-Man's lack of bodies in 135 besides David Diaz (some titilist), I'll have to take Esteban de Jesus. I think everyone forgets that this man [De Jesus] defeated the very best PRIME version of the lightweight monster Roberto Duran (i repeat, at his VERY BEST) and outboxed him at that fight. It's a total crime that De Jesus is not in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Not trying to take anything away from Pacquiao as he's an all-time great himself, but De Jesus had more of a resume at 135 and did defeat prime Duran. So, De Jesus by UD.
