Pedraza exposed?

[VG_Addict]

Would you say he was exposed last night, against Cherry?

[TheBeast]

I expected him to look average... you can read it in my pre fight breakdown... When not throwing and moving in, Pedraza's feet are close together which affects his balance and made him an easy target to flurry and bully with combos.


Good work by CHerry, many thought he had won

[Matematica]

Pedraza underperformed by my estimation.

Had Pedraza winning 116-112 so wouldnt exactly call him exposed but i was expecting better against someone like Cherry,i thought Pedraza was excellent winning the title against Klimov so i thought Cherry was made for him but he struggled from start to finish and i wouldnt argue with any score it was that boring

Stephen Smith will KO him

Yeh, I thought Cherry deserved it more. 117-111 for Pedraza is ridiculous.
Cherry imposed himself more in the fight, threw and landed more, hurt Pedraza and never got hurt himself.

Pedraza underperformed by my estimation.

That's my take too, though I was only 1/2 watching it >_<

[jujigatame]

He definitely underperformed and I was shocked a judge could have it any wider than 115-113 in his favor.

I wouldn't mind seeing Pedraza/Martinez in an all-PR unification fight.

Was a poor fight, was the first time watching him and was very dissapointed.

Stephen Smith has a chance of knocking out Pedraza especially if he isn't taken seriously.

and I'm not really a huge fan of Stephens but it's a winnable fight.

Just checked their stats Pedraza is taller and has a significant reach advantage. Will need a good ref as Pedraza will clinch a fair bit. The key to Stephen winning will be cutting the ring off can not see him winning the fight in the centre.
