Espinoza good.
Throw lots of punches.
Offensive machine.
Must-see TV.

Vazquez overwhelmed but wow, what a tough guy.
He needed to be rescued from himself. Shoulda stopped it a little earlier.

I think he crushes Leo, Fulton and Ball. Espinoza won't be tested at 126 until Monster moves up. There are more competitive fights at 130 for him.

Rather see him go to 130 than wait for Inoue tbh... Inoue at 126 might be the limit for him cus he's a small 122lb fighter and hes starting to get dropped in fights now he's fighting bigger stronger guys and Espinoza is a massive 126lb fighter aswell

Why not?
I'm all for fighters challenging themselves.
All the true greats did.

Nothing against it but Inoue even said himself it will take a couple years for him to think about moving to 126 because his body took a while to even adjust to 122lbs.. I'm sure he'll end up there but I don't think it will be that soon so Espinoza should eventually move up

first round he " became disheartened " and blah blah no way he kept coming and landing a good percentage of his punches no way was he slowed down in the first round or any until the end of the fight. Sorry i see Espanoza as a damn good fighter but young in experinece and if he had a fighter with just a bit more power he would have been in real trouble. And furthermore if Espi dont learn to use his distance more effectively and not get drawn into the in-fighting he will pay a much bigger price down the road. This should be a learning experience for Espi not some walk in the park where he " took the will out of a fighter" ...................

Espinoza is the truth!!!

I agree. I don't like the Espinoza fight for Monster. I don't think Ball, Fulton or Leo are trying to fight Espinoza, if you know what I mean.

[BlackRobb]

He will crush Fulton and Ball but Leo might wreck him.

I doubt that. I think Espinoza folds Leo like a cheap K-Mart lawn chair. None of the other 126 champs even mention his name.

Espinoza is a 6-ft FW, of course guys aren't clamoring to fight him. The only one that calls him out is Carrington. Hopefully that gets made relatively soon, but I think Carrington needs more seasoning.

The 126lb division rarely sees a unification.
