Two great fighters at featherweight and pound per pound. But when the stakes are high, I'd put my heart and money on Eusebio Pedroza all the way. I think that he was the better fighter and was secretly avoided/ducked by the elite featherweight champions.

And to tell you the truth, of all the elite featherweight champions of the time, the great Azumah Nelson would have been Pedroza's most dangerous opponent.

Nelson was perfect for Pedroza. He fought rushing in, the way Pedroza loved it.

Pedroza by UD.

Nelson was tough strong good stamina and chin.An excellent pressure fighter with skill.Pedroza could do it all. Maybe not a power puncher but definitely could put a fighter away with an accumulation of well placed shots.
1st fight a draw. 2nd fight,Pedroza has corrected his flaws from the 1st fight to w a close but ud
