I'm not too familiar with Espinosa's fights. I did some pad work with him as he works out at the same gym as I do, so I developed more of an interest in his fights, but I've only seen the McKinney one. I've heard that Hamed's management kept the Prince away from Espinosa. Those who are more familiar with Luisito's fights, how would he have fared against Naz?
I thought Naz overplayed his hand on this one, both with Espinosa and Kennedy McKinney (and fittingly enough, they wound up facing each other instead). The worst thing that happened to Hamed's career was getting guaranteed money from HBO, and even more with the carta blanche matchmaking stipulations that came with the contract. I think Hamed would've beaten Espinosa rather easily, maybe forced to climb off the canvas, but otherwise eventually scores a mid-rounds stoppage.
