This could be a decent, fast-paced match or it could develop into a stinker. Challenger Dib carries his hands low and perhaps isn’t as good as people [Golden Boy] say he is. He certainly doesn’t bang and escaped with a hometown decision in his last fight against a rugged South African who seemed to outwork him.

Southpaw Luevano has plenty of skills and is due a solid performance because he hasn’t convinced since winning the vacant crown against Nicky Cook last year.

Luevano’s the pick and if he gets his body attack going early he could stop Dib late.

If he doesn’t he will have to go to the distance and it could be very close indeed.
