I think all of the pressure got to Rey as a 21 year old I can't remember anybody going into a fight with so much pressure and against one of the hardest hitter in the division. The pressure just made him much weaker physically coming into that fight and now the knock out lost is making him mentally weak.

I hope ponce rematches with caballero and knocks him out.
Darchinyan v Donaire comes to mind when talking about the pressure and power. Only in this case it worked out for Donaire. Imagine fighting a guy that just beat up your brother, now there is pressure.
Actually Nonito and his brother stated they were not at all pressured because they were confident Nonito would knock him out. It was actually an advantage for nonitos brother to have already fought vic. Unlike boomboom, the pressure of going for the sweep in a world cup, the pressure of bringing back home the title for his people, the pressure of fighting for his first title at the age of 21 now that is not comparable to Nonito vs Vic whatsoever.
