Hector Camacho vs Willie Pep, 15 rounds, who wins?

Zebbie this is a fun fight. You have the Macho Man Hector Camacho with all his flashiness and crazy looking ring attire going against the Will o' the Wisp Willie Pep. Camacho was certainly a very fast fighter with well above average boxing skills but the only advantage he would have over Pep would be in the power department. I know Willie Pep mostly fought as a featherweight and Camacho mostly as a lightweight but we are just going to consider this bout as a with all things equal, so here is how I think it goes. In the early rounds, ring artist Pep would dance and use dazzling footwork and make Camacho miss more than he ever has while occionally popping Camacho with crisp counter punches and getting out of the way before Camacho can reach him. Camacho would start to apply more pressure to Pep and start to land some heavier shots s the fight goes into the middle rounds but with Pep always staying out of danger. In the Championship rounds, Pep would continue to box, move, and dance around Camacho who would also show flashes of brilliance but unable to outbox the boxing master. Pep hangs on in the last round after a furious Camacho flurry at the bell. Pep is the winner by unanimous decision.
