Valenzuela vs Chris Colbert

[The Viper]

This is a true cross roads fight and a must win for both guys....who you boys got???

Very good/interesting matchup that has be scratching my head as to why Colberts team agreed to it. I think the matchup favors Rayo,not to say he's a shoe in to win,but I'd say his liabilities are less likely to get exposed than vice versa.

Jose paid dearly thinking he was going to continue ****ing everyone out while he his defense took a beat seat but he can still crack and has above average power, timing and reflexes. Don't think Colberts "flash" or boxing ability,is any better than Jose's either so I don't think Colbert can just sit on the outside and trying to win exchanges with the longer fighter either. Does he get on his bike and try to fight off his back foot and stink out the joint?

Hard to envision a scenario that favors Colbert here and may,more than likely to me,just end up as bad a matchmaking decision for him as Santos was for Rayo.

Rayo by late stoppage imo.Should be a good fight and an intriguing one regardless.

Valenzuela, I think Chris Colbert is too small for 135.....

I'm kinda flummoxed Edwin de los Santos hasn't got a fight yet. Valenzuela was red hot after sparking out Francisco Vargas and Edwin manhandled Valenzeula, it would make sense for Edwin's handlers to get him another fight asap, strike while the iron's hot.

Risky fight for Colbert. I think he has enough to win a decision though.
