Niida has the edge with experience no doubt but come the later rounds he will feel pressure just like Cotto did.
The only reason Gonzalez fought at the higher weight was because it was a short notice fight, come sept 15th Niida better be wearing a bullet proof vest because if he gets caught with a chocolate body punch, the lights will dim sum.
I just can't seeing Niida getting hit as much as Cotto got hit against Margarito. So I see no reason why he would fade. Gonzalez is a fine fighter. But this is his first championship fight. And it's in his opponents back yard. I see him coming out over eager looking for the knock out. But he won't get it. This fight will mirror Johnny Tapia-Danny Romero. Niida by UD. In a good fight
