Rafael Espinoza would like to face Naoya Inoue

Rafael “Divino” Espinoza (26-0, 22 CO’s) is making the third defense of his WBO featherweight world title tonight when he takes Edward Vazquez (17-2, 4 food) in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The match co-headlines Naoya Inoue’s return to America when he tackled the game Ramon Cardenas. It has been four years since Inoue last fought in the United States; Tonight fans will see the monster up close.

Espinoza is an incredibly high featherweight at 6’1. He is the highest featherweight in history. He somehow manages to make the limit of 126 pounds time and time again. He pulls over his opponents and knows how to use his size to his advantage. He can reach the outside box and reach his 74-inch or use on the inside. He is a fighter of the heart, and he tends to choose the latter, and prefers to stay in the bag and roast it. He is a multidimensional boxer whose volume attack makes it difficult for opponents to defend. Per Compubox, he throws nearly 70.2 strokes per round and lands 24.6 percent of his overall push. He has power in both arms. Divino has a knockout percentage of 84.6 percent, and tonight in the T-Mobile on Cinco de Mayo weekend, he will host a show.

When asked what the plan of attack is tonight, Rafael said: “To win, win, win, this is my plan. Spiritually I always think of the victory. I am entering the ring, and the strategy I have changes it depending on how the fight plays. I’m always focused on a way to win.” Divino is unbeaten and still has to taste defeat. Although he was tested in his first championship match against Robeisy Ramirez, he was resilient and perseverance, despite being dropped early. Espinoza overcame the Knockdown and returned with a revenge. Throw nearly 1,000 strokes in the fight, overwhelms Ramirez late, manage to get a knockout in the 12th round and win the WBO title.

Naoya Inoue is the undisputed junior featherweight champion. He spoke of a move to featherweight in the near future, which means he could possibly cross roads with Divino. When asked about the potential match, Espinoza showed great interest and said: “Of course it would be a fight, which would give me … if Mexican box … would open doors to me. It would be a dream. I would win this Sunday and then see what happens.” Divino wants to make history and want to be remembered as a Mexican boxing legend. If you can secure a battle against a boxer on the pound-by-pound list, it will give him the opportunity to earn

merit to that goal. Due to the styles of both, it would produce an action -packed battle that would have a big fan. Since both fighters are under the same promotional company, the top rankings, it would facilitate the way to negotiations.
