Courageous effort by Hernandez. A true prize fighter in every sense of the word.

I missed the first three rounds but my friend was telling me how Famoso had gone down twice, i was happy to see him finish the fight in good spirits. He looked alot better that i expected, he looked awful in his previous fight.

I see the same thing in Escobedo that I see in Christian Mijares. Ecept Escobedo obviously has somthin more behind his punch early in his fights. But they both got weak physiques, they just don't appear that strong or that solid in the body over all, they're easily pushed around, and they both get weaker as the fight goes. Watchin Escobedo after the 3rd or 4th round is similar to watchin Oscar when he fought Paq. Escobedo's whole body starts to fade after a period of time. His punches become arm punches and he just starts lookin weak over all.

I don't know how much strength they can pack on him before he breaks the lightweight limit, but he looks like he needs it. Fighters lean on, or pressure him, and he starts to bend and move like Gumby just after a few rounds. And his punches get weaker/lazier off and on throughout his fights. But he's got a great jab, he's accurate, has some speed, it's just he gets weak quick fast. He's basically like Christian Mijares, but he appears to have more potential.
