Pedroza, SD12

Eusebio Pedroza was in a different class. Different level. Pedroza by knockout.

Eusebio Pedroza is an all time great featherweight champion. He handled Lockridge, Laporte, and even Ruben Olivares, etc. Pedroza had a long string of successful world featherweight title defenses. He was a very crafty, stand up boxer/puncher going downstairs and upstairs very effectively. I cant see Norwood beating this fellow. Freddie struggled with Derrick Gainer. Norwood is a real good boxer and a champion, but not in Pedroza's league, IMO. I remember the young champion, Eusebio in the 1970s and early 1980s. Eusebio and Salvador Sanchez would have been a tremendous unification battle. Eusebio by unanimous decision over Freddie Norwood.

Cheers.

Pedroza was one of a kind. No matter what the American press said about him.
