    Ah, I haven't seen anywhere near that much of JJ at the lower weight. When's the last time you closely looked at BW Gonzalez, though? Hombre was a wiry nightmare.

    Watched Vazquez a few weeks ago (thought he looked very good in that one) and Penalosa today. Other than that, I don't recall seeing any more of his fights at the weight.

    Maybe I'm not so qualifiied to make a prediction on this one :yep

    Edit: Oh and Mark Johnson (but he was past it)

    Vazquez was @ 122...which makes the gallant losing performance of Gonzalez all the more impressive in context.

    Izzy was a very natural & strong super bantamweight, and the weight fit him like a glove throughout his good years...and Jhonny damn near beat him during his peak.
