    Offensive whirlwind vs Defensive wizard. How do you see this play out? Can Fenech maul and outwork Lora or can Lora counter and outbox Fenech on the outside to a decision win? This would have been a nice clash of styles and a damn entertaining one. Fenech didn't have the height, reach, and boxing ability that Raul Perez had to nullify Lora so he would have to fight up close, and Lora was a good infighter himself.
    Hard fight to call, honestly.

    By the way if anyone is interested someone just recently posted the Miguel Lora vs Sanchez, Zaragoza, Abellar fights. Very sharp display by Happy.

    I have much more confidence in Fenech's ability to make the fight on his terms than for Lora to make it on his. Fenech demonstrated against Payakaroon how effective he can be at cutting off the ring.

    Youre welcome lol. That was me.

    And Lora has a chance at 118, as Fenech was still green and struggling with the weight.

    Fenech's peak was 122-126.

    Not that simple with Lora, though. Fighting with his back to the ropes is what made Happy happy. Same as Benitez, but with meaner intentions being every counter punch.

    Lora was almost like a Benitez-Gomez hybrid.

    The defensive reflexes and off-the-ropes fighting ability of El Radar and the footwork and meaness of Gomez.

    He had a lot of power in his left hook.

    Also, Ring Leader, the Payakaroon fight was at 122.
