15 Rd Lightweight
O'Grady had a good chin,fire and skills.Good stamina. Shabby defense and tender skinned.Arroyo had good skills,defense and chin.Im going to go with O'Grady pressing forward making Arroyo work overtime.
O'Grady a decision win unless he gets cut.

Z, I think Harry takes an upset split decision. Does enough to challenge the conventional thought of Sean winning.

I cant dispute that because Arroyo seemed best against the pressure fighters,(Blake,Alli,)opposed to the Boxer/Puncher (Paul) type.

This would have actually been a tremendous action fight. Never even thought about it. It would be hard to pick a winner. Both men could take and dish out a beating. I would go O’Grady SD but not with confidence

O'Grady's an enigma to me. He feasted on bums, then stayed on his feat through a stoppage loss to Danny Lopez. Fought really well against Kenty and in his loss to Watt, then gets blown out by Ganigan and Verderosa. He actually hurt Ganigan with a right cross I think after the 2nd knockdown, briefly making me think he was going to rally. Think I might go with Arroyo here by close but clear decision.

It makes you wonder, if Sean had not given up the belt, how much farther he could have gone as world champ.

It does make one wonder. O'Grady proved his toughness against a few fighters. But then out of nowhere ,he was done.
When the ability to take a punch goes,and your a slugger/pressure fighter,your screwed.
I think that's what happened, all at once with O'Grady. Even if the vast majority were bums,that's a lot of fights and punches eventually take a toll.
Pat may have helped build him up,but I think he hindered him by having him toss the belt and start up with the WAA.

True that. There were several fighters he could've made money fighting and beating.
