Rafael Espinoza defends the title Featherweight against Edward Vazquez at Co-Main at Inoue Vs. Cardenas event

The WBO Featherweight Rafael ‘El Divino’ Espinoza (26-0, 22 Kos) will defend Edward Vazquez (17-2, 4 kos) at Naoya Inoue against Ramon Cardenas on Sunday, May 4 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Vazquez has two close defeats in battles that came close to victory over Raymond Ford and Joe Cordina. Many fans had Vazquez hit Cordina in their match on November 4, 2023 at Monte Carlo, but the judges believed that the British fighter had done enough.

Espinoza against Vazquez is a good enough race to be the main event of this card because it is more competitive in paper than Headliner inoue-Cardenas. This is a mismatch.

The magnitude of rafael size

The 6’1 “espinoza comes from a six-year-olds interruption of former WBO 126-LB Robeisy Ramirez champion on December 7th last year. This was Espinoza’s second victory over the double Olympic Gold Robeisy and a message that it is very good for Cuban.

Vazquez, 5’7 “, has to understand a way to deal with the height of the stork -like espinoza because he will be bombarded if he cannot find a strategy. His lack of power will make it tougher because he would need it to beat the much taller champion.

What makes him so difficult is his big hands and the way the shot loop, making them difficult to see. Espinoza also has a high work rate, which creates even more difficulties. However, he may be injured, as we saw in his first match with Robeisy when he fell late in the fifth round. He was equipped with the hit by the round of the round.

“Rafael Espinoza is a tall featherweight with power and skills to become a world champion for the coming years and we are excited to present him at such an important weekend for Mexican boxing,” said Bob Arum ” It is his shot to change everything.
