I am not going to be over analytical about this. But in order for Nonito to win, he needs to box Fernando from the outside. Problem is, Nonito is boxer who relies on counter punching. He is also exploring the options to go southpaw, since southpaws are known to give Fernando some trouble. He can not do either.
If Nonito looks to counter, he will get K.O. Fernando style, and stance are set up to neutralize counter punchers.
If Nonito goes southpaw, he gives up his height advantage by lowering his body stance. This will hurt more then help. He could end up being K.O.
That is why his only option is to box from the outside, and outwork Fernando to win a UD. But if this match goes for the stretch, I can see Nonito tiring. Add on the fact that despite his speed, and size advantage he has always been an easy target to hit. The later rounds may favor Fernando, who enforces a constant pace. The danger of a K.O. is still present in the later rounds.
I see many short selling Fernando in this match. But make no mistake about it. Fernando will win via K.O.
