Comments Thread For: Pedraza-LesPierre Rescheduled Fight To Take Place At 144-Pound Catchweight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Chances are, Jose Pedraza will check in at a career-heaviest weight for the second time in two weeks. It's not because the two-division titlist from Cidra, Puerto Rico is out of shape. Quite the opposite, in fact, as he braces for a rescheduled July 2 clash versus former junior welterweight title challenger Mikkel LesPierre (22-1-1, 14KOs).

Da fuq? Ummm. Can't help thinking this benefits Mikkel a bit, and with Pedraza coming off the L? Jose should still be able to win pretty handily but it's definitely a factor.

He should as he's the much better boxer. Just hoping the weight isn't as big factor being that he wasn't successful against Zepeda in his first fight moving up & he wasn't a big puncher in the lower divisions already.

That's kinda part of my thinking, Jose has yet to score a win at 140... I mean yes on paper he should be fine, and he's undoubtedly more skilled than LesPierre, but he's still used to fighting guys who are considerably smaller and with 3 losses across 3 different weighclasses in as many years... I just dunno.

Hope this not backfire to Jose Pedraza, still think he win, but also is depending the Jose Pedraza that appear in the ring, because he lost focus of his boxing and begin to slug, something that I still wonder why. If is the Sniper that appear, then Pedraza is going to win.
