Who was the better technician between the two?
Who had the most grit, heart and determination?
I know Donald Curry, The Lone Star Cobra, was faster, but he didn't had Carlos Palomino's chin.
I will pick Palomino by UD in 15 rounds.

I agreed and concur, Curry accomplished more at welterweight than Palomino as the Cobra would out-box him behind his long jabs and combinations to take a decision.

This would be a classic blood , guts , and glory type of scrap. Great match-up i think. Reminiscent of Hamsho-Minter,to me, for some unclear unknown reason, but definitely a legit dream match scrap.
I'd favor Palomino, because of his sheer toughness and iron will,and jaw of course.
I think that he had the skillset and toughness.
Palomino by a Clear cut decision victory.
He may get decked,like he did vs Duran,but for no more than a 2 count(Flash knockdown).
After that possible scenario, I see Carlos getting tougher instead of folding. He didn't give up on himself from what I've observed.

Something tells me that Carlos Palomino was a very hood fighter not given credit for. Many people believe that if the fight with the great Wilfred Benitez was in Los Angeles instead of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Palomino would have had the win. He fought well against Benitez.
