YuLu on YouTube: Gongora by stoppage

Scott Christ, BadLeftHook: Pearson SD 12
Gongora’s win over Ali Akhmedov last December was a good one, but it’s also all there is of note on his pro record. Was it really an upset? That’s what we find out going forward with Gongora, who is already 31. He can fight, I’m sure of that, but how good is he? I’m going with the upset to happen again here...  It’s a risky pick for sure, he might be rusty, he might have just had his “one big night” against Falcao, but talent has always been there for Pearson.

Will Esco, BadLeftHook: Gongora UD 12
Gongora appears to be a pretty good technical fighter who uses his ability to keep a moderate pace and place his punches accurately...  I think Pearson make a go of it in the early going but will eventually start fading as Gongora start racking up on points.

“In order to become number one, you have to fight the best, so I am waiting for the opportunity to present itself to fight against Canelo Alvarez,” he said. “It’s a dream I’ve always had since I started boxing professionally, and that’s what I keep chasing, and hoping that one day the opportunity to fight him will present itself.” (BadLeftHook)
