Jhonny Gonzalez vs. Jonathan Oquendo is a great matchup for Gonzalez.
The hard punching Mexican is looking to rebuild after a humbling stoppage at the hands of Gary Russell Jr. in March of this year.
In another Mexico vs. Puerto Rico match, look for Gonzalez to make a statement against his 5’4″ rival and stop him in the middle rounds.
Prediction: Gonzalez

Jhonny Gonzalez is the better all-around fighter here. I look for him to earn the win and a stoppage isn’t out of the question.
Prediction: Gonzalez

The opening bout of Mayweathers pay-per view show is a potential war.
Jonathan Oquendo has an offensive style, but Jhonny Gonzalez should have enough to dispatch his counterpart within the ten round distance.
Prediction: Gonzalez

Another Mexico vs. Puerto Rico match here. Jonathan Oquendo is an aggressive fighter that is always moving forward, but with that style comes a greater room for error. The gauge I am using to make a prediction for this fight is based on a mutual opponent for both, Abner Mares.
Gonzalez beat Mares with a shocking first round TKO about two years ago. Mares then went on to defeat Oquendo easily as a tune up fight after his loss to Gonzalez. Oquendo tends to be overly aggressive and make mistakes and Gonzalez is good at making his opponents pay for their mistakes.
Prediction: Gonzalez

Jhonny Gonzalez has been in some wars, and he’s coming off of stoppage loss to Gary Russell Jr. Jonathan Oquendo is going to be a good test to see what Gonzalez has left in the tank.
I dont’ expect a barn burner, but it should be a decent scrap and if Gonzalez has timing down and can still pull the trigger I like him to win.
Prediction: Gonzalez
