    Who wins this interesting clash of styles between the pure boxer and the pressure fighter? Can Pep outbox Saldivar enough to win by points or could Saldivar grind out a convincing win? Pep has the speed and finesse but Saldivar does have experience on how to deal with slick boxing stylists like Laguna, Winstone, Legra, and Famechon. Very hard to call honestly.

    I think Saldivar is one of the worst style match-ups for Pep, but I don't think he'd win. Pep was just too good and would still manage to find his exits and out-box Saldivar over fifteen.

    Close decision win for Willie.
