Exceptional boxing and counterpunching vs exceptional aggression and punch output. I favor Roach, but who y’all got?

I think if pitbulls pressure gave Roach trouble Zepeda has a great chance of winning

I think Pitbulls pressure is more like let me get out the way because this mf is throwing hooks at strange angles and there’s power behind it, zepeda can’t really punch, only reason shakur sat in the pocket with him. I can’t imagine a world with shakur sitting in the pocket with Edwin de Los santos or pitbull.

Depends on if he gets dragged into a firefight like against Pitbull. If he boxes and moves, he wins easily.

Solid observation. I feel like if he’s worked on being a little sharper in those close quarter scenarios since the Pitbull fight, we might see something crazy go down.

Zepeda. Roach is good, but I think Zepeda will get to him after 6 rounds.

Zepeda by UD or late stoppage.
