Brian Vera v Willie Monroe Jr

THis is a step up for him despite Vera going down in weight and not doing so well lately.

As much as I'm looking forward to this fight, it should be uneventful. Wilie's a very mobile stick/move fighter, like Lara but with less pop. Willie seems pretty durable as well, so I'd be surprised if Vera was lucky enough to catch him like he did with Dzinziruk. Should be a clear win for Willie and hopefully his promoters actually keep him active this year.

Love the style match up, an Up and coming slick southpaw VS a rugged battle tested brawler. Looking forward to it

Monroe ez. I was impressed by him in ESPN FNF tournament last year. Looking forward to his next fights.

brian vera is a 3/1 underdog...pretty good odds tbh vera was competitive with chavez jr at least...
monroe got UD'd agaisnt darnell boone lol

Lol man Darnell Boone is somethng else...

If he had handlers, and a paid team around him from day one, I truly believe he'd be a consistent top 10 contender, and a world champion at least once.

But I digress - I'm actually going with the upset here, and taking Vera. Unless going back to MW really takes something out of him, and he loses what he's most known for - his stamina, heart, and chin.
