Prediction: Marcos has a good-looking record and some of his opponents have a good record. Saying that he’s fighting at a low level in Peru.
Lewis hasn’t beaten anyone great but his level of competition has been tougher. Marcos is a threat with his size possibly being able to keep Lewis at bay and muscle him around in the clinch.
Outside of that Lewis is just a better martial artist everywhere. Lewis is faster, more athletic, has way more qualities on the feet, and even wrestles better. Lewis is a guy that will bite on his mouthpiece and give it his all and Marcos just hasn’t had to show that yet. The pick is Lewis because he’s better everywhere and is more proven.
