    If Angel Espada & Armando Muniz had instead tried for the other championship. Could Espada have outboxed Carlos Palomino? Angel was a fine boxer. & if he didn't have to deal with the sledgehammer blows. like against Cuevas. Could Muniz outfight Cuevas in the trenches? He brawled against the better defensive fighter in Palomino. Muniz could outfight Cuevas, but the power factor ,could make this a very dangerous statedgy.

    Pipino and Carlos would still win but not exactly a for sure thing either. Style wise Espada probably would have the better chance. For as good as Mando Muniz was i dont know if his pressure style woud eventually be his downfall here.
