Mickey Bey – Bey, 31, is a physically imposing 5’9″ Boxer/Puncher with good athleticism, speed and power. Bey was a solid amateur and has decent boxing technique and instincts. Bey is a strong bodypuncher that likes to fight in explosive bursts. Bey’s strengths appear to be his greatest weaknesses as his bombs away approach leaves him exposed to huge counter punches. Bey is a natural boxer that likes to move and fire his jab off his hip but he loads up combinations, leaving his suspect chin greatly exposed. Bey’s defense also leaves something to be desired with his modest punch output leaving him vulnerable to pressure. Bey’s greatest asset could be his affiliation with Mayweather Promotions but his tinny durability could leave that edge out of the judges hands against the big swinging poles of the division. Mickey Bey vs Miguel Vazquez Betting Odds have Vazquez at -340 moneyline

Miguel Vazquez – The “Puppet” Vazquez, 27, is a game 5’10” Mexican craftsman that understands the finer points of the sweet science. Vazquez has arms like match-sticks and is not much of a puncher which is why he must be excellent at all the other aspects of the game. Despite his limitations the light-framed righty has not lost since Canelo Alvarez outpointed him in 2008. Vazquez is a fundamentally sound technician that fights in a loose rhythm, delivering accurate combinations and counterpunches. Because of his loose approach Vazquez has good stamina and is surprisingly tough in the trenches. Calm and collecting, Vazquez has good ring vision on defense, rolling well with punches on light feet. Vazquez is not speedster and can be touched. Despite never being stopped the game champ has been on the deck before.

Expert Boxing Predictions Forecast: Vazquez can tame heavy punchers like Bey with timing, use of distance and counterpunches. Our ESPN2 News Boxing panel has Vazquez listed at #25 on our pound-4-pound charts while Bey grades out as a talented but limited contender. Bey will give an all-star effort but expect the Mexican lion tamer to eek out a closer than expected split-decision.
