Nice work, this kid is becoming the next star, Viva Mexico!

Espinoza can box and punch and has a better chance than Pitbull to be Mexico’s next star. Khegai’s corner told him the 9th was his last chance. He got beat up in the 9th and they sent him out for the 10th! That is the sort of corner work that gets people hurt

Khegai was too tough for his own good. But if a guy that small in comparison could consistently land flush overhands, what's going to happen when/if Espinoza decides to move up?

They should stop sleeping on this dude, he's the best Mexican fighter right now, his size and strenght is amazing at his height and he knows what he's doing inside the squared circle!

I was going to say the same.

Saw that article the other day stating that Pitbull Cruz is taking aim at being Mexico’s #1 fighter. He is not #1, precisely because there are better fighters like Rafael Espinoza out there.

Hes a really good fighter. If he fights tall hes unbeatable at those lower weight classes. He doesnt have heavy hands but he throws volumes at you from different angles. I like his style alot.

Angelo Leo is going to knock Espinoza out. Easily.

What drugs are you consuming? Leo was getting his ass beat by Venado Lopez, but Venado got over confident and ketp his hands down.

Lopez is considerably better than Espinoza, whose resume is still just Ramirez twice.
