    A much more seasoned Pedraza hahahahahah. Troll! He beat Tank's leftovers and won in a competitive fight in HIS weight class. Not the weight class Pedraza was undefeated in and a champ in. FOH.

    Nope.... not going to let you get away with that.:nonono As you're well aware, since I belabored the point the other day, Pedraza was dead at the weight and pretty much conceded that he had little to no chance of beating Tank, and he took the match for the money and the exposure, and went in with fingers crossed hoping for a miracle. The Pedraza that Zepeda beat was reinvigorated, in hs proper division of 140, coming off of excellent performances against Beltran, over Lozada, who'd just KO'd Verdejo and taken his 0, and a valiant effort against Loma. He then went onto after losing to Zepeda, to take the 0 of hot prospect Julian Rodriguez, beat down Javier Molina who was coming off of a dominant win over Amir Imam, and also arguably do enough to get a draw against Ramirez. Clearly Pedraza doesn't take his losses that badly and rebounds very well. So yes, Zepeda getting a points win over a guy, who only the elites can truly outbox. Is nothing to be sneezed at. As far as Zepeda's performance against Ramirez. Sure.... Ramirez went life and death with Postol, but remember... Postol is still Bud's best win.So is that something to be ashamed of?

    Ok you make some good points here. But I have to address two things you said. Julian Rodriguez a prospect? This kid was kinda hyped in 2013 if I remember correctly, I haven’t heard about this kid since lol. He’s a 9 year propsect?

    Buds win over Postol was an undefeated champion with a lot of momentum and a younger Postol. Ramirez arguably lost against a older version that Bud completely dominated. Also I would argue Porter is the better win and a prime undefeated Gamboa who wasn’t in his best weight class but still in his prime.
