Yes, he used to only make Lightweight through dehydration and starving, we changed a few things and he now cruises into it. I can't see him going up for a while again.
I don't think julio has been the same since he was battered by juan diaz. And chavez has struggled coming back from his knee injury. In 12 months time I could see lenny winning against both quite convincingly.
Why wouldn't he fight a southpaw? Is it the trouble he had against dulong? Or has he struggled in other fights against southpaws?
Not so much Dulog, although he got dropped twice early in that fight. Check his latest fight against Rey Olartes. Olartes is average but he lasted the 8 rds easy. Lenny didn't land anything all night and was obviously frustrated. Olartes hardly threw anything yet both Zappa's eyes were a bit swollen and marked up. Basically a southpaw stance and style, messes Lenny up because it takes away his left hand. And Zappa relies on his left hand so much. He's got time to figure all that out because he is young. But I think he'l avoid a south paw as much as possible.
