    It's tempting maybe to figure that Espana's height and long arms win here, as they did against Taylor. But you know Porter is going to get inside that jab. What happens?

    I think the Espana that beat up Mel Taylor would have beaten Porter.

    Funny that this might be the first time I've seen Espana in a MM.

    He was a quality fighter, and I'd pick him over a Porter/Thurman level guy.

    I don't think Espana did enough in his career to justify being favored over someone like Porter. At best, he's an unknown quantity.

    He did fight with a nice boxing rhythm and good work-rate though.
