    Ambers' approach was quite different altogether from Duran's. Whether he wins or loses, size isn't going to be an issue for Armstrong here.

      Amber's approach was different from Duran's? I just gave a specific example of weapons Ambers used to give Armstrong a difficult time, and Duran was not only an overall superior fighter than Ambers but also had shown in multiple fights(most notably against Palomino) that his short left hook-right uppercut combination was excellent.

      and let me rephrase 'size' then. I think Duran was physically stronger, hit harder, and had more ability to manipulate people while grappling. I also think he could fight better from a distance than Armstrong, which would give him the upper hand even though most the fight would take at close range.

      I also have no doubt that Duran was more durable and had better defense than Ambers.
