Morono provides a little tougher challenge stylistically for Ponzinibbio than the stand-up striking of Lawler. Where Ponzinibbio has an advantage is with his length and ability to stand at a safe range and hit Morono with leg kicks. The more Ponzinibbio moves and goes after Morono's legs with low kicks, the more Morono will slow down and open it up for Ponzinibbio to work in some combinations and wear Morono down. As for Morono, he is going to have to hit something big early and take Ponzinibbio out of his comfort range. If he can't Ponzinibbio will win by unanimous decision.
