I've never heard of this Art guy.... 30 year old prospect huh?
What's his style?
Also... I wonder if Acosta has it in the tank to beat him out.

He's a pretty slick. Switches up easy & counters well. I was just watching that Archie Ray Marquez fight from last year.

Seems to me though that the best person he fought was Cruz.... If Acosta doesn't gas out I think he can win.... but I don't even know where he stands since his last 3 fights

I agree about Cruz & that was a draw. I'm in the same boat as far as Acosta though. Haven't seen him out since Rios.

Art is pretty heavy handed too.
both have been out for a while too....
I think if Art can land, he can win

Art can crack for sure. Dropped Marquez 3 times. I think it's gonna be good fight though.

PS.
I watched that video today of that Aussie chick in your sig. Very nice & certainly sig worthy.

I think Art will take it late... could be wrong though.
As for the Aussie Chick.... hell yea

If Acosta isn't shot he has this fight in the bag. Art was lucky that a clash of heads happened against Cruz because he was losing the fight at the time, and Cruz wasn't having a hard time landing his overhand right. Acosta has skills and experience but Art can punch I'm just not sure if he'll be as strong at 135.
