Rene Tellez Giron vs Maliek Montgomery

Maliek Montgomery has it all to prove in this fight. He was looking like the puncher who might force his way into world class until back-to-back losses to Jeremy Hill (UD) and Joshua James Pagan (L-TKO-9) derailed his run. Unfortunately, Montgomery faces one of the toughest comeback opponents ProBox could find in Rene Tellez Giron. The 5 losses on Tellez Giron's record don't tell the real story, and he has battled back to become one of the guy's to beat at 135lbs. As stated earlier, Montgomery was viewed as the puncher until his last two fights, and 18 knockouts in 20 wins tend to back up that belief, but this is about levels and guys like Tellez Giron can take world-level power and return fire. The Mexican is coming off one of the finest wins of his career, defeating surging Jordan White 5 months ago. This is a tough pick, but I feel that Tellez Giron can take Montgomery’s power and go on to win by decision
