    Going with Arquello......probably similar to the two Alfredo Escalera bloodfests.

    Arguello beats MAB handily and stops him within 8. 130 is Alexis's prime weight and MAB s only advantages are handspeed and footspeed. Alexis does everything else better, especially punch, and is naturally bigger. MAB is in over his head in this one. I'm not a gambling man but I would bet the house.

    Arguello by decision.

    I think Alexis would succeed in keeping the fight at long range. He was also more natural at 130 lbs. Barrera was better at 122 and 126 lbs.

    This.

    I don't think a stoppage happens unless MAB tries to push it. MAB showed a super tough hide and fantastic chin vs Marquez, Pacman and Morales. Even if its a shut out he doesn't get stopped unless his corner comes in.

    Arguello late round stoppage due to accumulated damage.
