Avoid champion
The disadvantage of the performance of Espinoza is that it will probably avoid him even more than he is already at 126. He is not sought by the other featherweight champions or the top contenders. If Naoya Inoue inoue finally moves from Super Bantamweight, he probably won’t fight against Espinoza. It is unrealistic to assume that he wants to fight against him because of his last two performances against Vazquez and former WBO champion Robaity Ramirez.
“I knew he was a big opponent. I knew he would fight. And that’s fine because it allowed me to show more of my abilities, ‘said Rafael Espinoza after the fight. “This is the kind of battle people like to look at. And I like it too. The people deserve this kind of battles
