At light Flyweight who do you pick between these 2 talented southpaws? Zapata being the defensive master and Gushiken the technically superb offensive fighter.
Great matchup, Flo! I would give Zapata the not-so-clear edge at his best - and at best I mean on German Torres, Joey Olivo form. But damn, Gushiken gets underrated. As far as Japanese southpaws go, on here and ESB, we tend to give Watanabe a lot more attention than Gushiken, but he was a terrific fighter. I don't think Gushiken was as good as Chang, but I could see him beating Yuh or Carbajal.
