Guzman wasn't the slickster at 122 that he's become at higher weights. He was more of a puncher. Tossup fight. (And these two were both beltholders simultaneously until Guzman moved up.)
I'll go with Guzman, but I'm not that confident about it.
Larios/Guzman at 122.

Guzman would punch holes in him

Like he did with Beltran?Counter-puncher wrote:Guzman would punch holes in him
The problem with Guzman is that his resume at 122 consists of:
Oliva (who?)
Beltran (decent fighter whom Guzman decisioned in a rather ordinary performance)
Sanchez (coming off 2+ year layoff due to eye injury)

Larios is made for Guzman stylewise IMO. walking straight at Guzman, at 122lbs, is a recipe to get your head knocked off.

The only quality guy Guzman ever stopped was Sanchez. Problem that he had been off for over two years with an eye injury.Counter-puncher wrote:Larios is made for Guzman stylewise IMO. walking straight at Guzman, at 122lbs, is a recipe to get your head knocked off.
Larios also could box--and he took many hard shots from Vazquez.
