Fifteen rounds prime for prime.Featherweight Does Willie outbox him for a points win,or does the Thin Man catch him and end it for a stoppage?
Featherweight Arguello was in his early 20s. Was outboxed in his first step up in competition against the underrated Ernesto Marcel. Have to go with Pep at 126 pounds.
Arguello is very dangerous at lighter weights. Marcel outpointed him, but went through hell to do it. Saddler was a monster at feather, but Arguello was a more concise hitter. At feather...I'm uncertain, but would lean slightly to Pep (at his best)...at 130, I'd pick Arguello by KO.
Never forget Alexis' 2 wars with Alfredo Escalera at Superfeather. (Sat. afternoons...CBS Sports Spectacular). Pep best to stay down at Feather for fights with Arquello.
Olivares was close on the cards until that left hook, and it may have worked that way for Pep also though he would likely had a clear lead, still the fighter that ducked and slipped Sadler's best would be my bet to come out on top here also.
Arguello always has a puncher's chance, but Pep decisions Arguello comfortably. Arguello is just too slow and robotic.
