Trending
This is a massive step up in competition for Cardenas. The American is skilled and has respectable power. He is also an impressive 26-1. Unfortunately, Inoue has walked through shots from far heavier punchers. Furthermore, Cardenas has never competed in a 12-rounder before.
He'll survive the initial onslaught, but once the fight enters the second half, he'll eventually crumble before a relentless Inoue, who has stopped his last 10 foes.
The Prediction: Naoya Inoue via late TKO
#2. WBO featherweight title: Rafael Espinoza vs. Edward Vazquez
Rafael Espinoza vs. Edward Vazquez will be the co-headliner for the Naoya Inoue vs. Ramon Cardenas card, and it will be contested for the WBO featherweight belt, which is currently held by Espinoza, who is 26-0. Meanwhile, his foe, Vazquez, is 17-2.
On the surface, Espinoza has a nasty habit of not tucking his chin. Fortunately for him, Vazquez has no knockout power to speak of, having only ever stopped four opponents. By contrast, Espinoza is far more powerful, and a fair shade more skillful.
He'll feel no threat from Vazquez and find the stoppage.
The Prediction: Rafael Espinoza via TKO
