Tell me about Eusebio Pedroza

Yes he is an ATG at 126lbs, althought a very dirty fighter I might add.

 

A great dirty fighter .good breakdown robbed from another site

Now not that I'm an advocate of this, but really its good to know how to master certain tricks of the trade so you know not only how to use them, but how to avoid them. So we'll start with the most known of them, low blows.

Now while most people associate low blows with Andrew Golota, he's a novice compared to Eusebio Pedroza, but there are three very important layers to his low blow approach, as seen here in this video against Pat Ford thanks to our friend Erratic.

1) Peripheral Vision - Now this is difficult, because you know that you have to pay attention to your opponent because its the punches you don't see that end your night. However what you'll notice from Pedroza is that he knows when his back is to the referee, thus obstructing the official's vision to his punches. Therefore, its much easier to get away with them.

2) Punch in combination - Pedroza never throws his low blows as isolated punches. He always mixes them in with legal punches to both the head and body. What it does is mess with the referee's sensory perception if indeed he does see the low blow. He's not sure it was a low blow because Pedroza is mixing in a combination of clean punches, often times which hurt the opponent thus the referee has to pay attention to a potentially hurt fighter rather than what may have been a foul.

3) Speed - Not only is Pedroza punching in combination, but he does so in rapid fire mode so that the low blow really doesn't become detectable. If you do things quick enough people's sensory perception is off to it, like sleight of hand card tricks. Its quite a brilliant formula that's allowed Pedroza to turn the nutsacks of guys like Ford, Juan LaPorte, Rocky Lockridge, and just about everyone else he beat into his own personal punching bags without ever being disqualified or often even penalized.

 

Great fighter, but he ducked Salvador Sanchez and Wilfredo Gomez.

he uses lowblows and bodywork to slow down la porte

 

His fight with LaPorte, in which he committed 32,122 fouls, is on youtube in its entirety.

 

Threw an excellent shoulder. Master of the open glove, base of the palm shove punch to the face. And without peer in the art of low blows. His elbow shot was a masterful example of stealth and dirt.

Oh and a highly underrated head butter.

 

Pedroza was a very good fighter, dominate the featherweights for quite sometime, it seems. He was a dirty fighter, but also was a under rated fighter. If I remember correctly, he was a really good kidney puncher.

 

A genuine old school fighter.

 

Please explain yourself before being taken to task, or else admit you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

he has more vowels than consonants in his name
