Thomson vs. Melendez II

So after Melendez's victory last night, how do you think this re-match will go?

Thomson just dominated Melendez in their last fight, not losing a single round on the judges' scorecards in his unanimous decision. However despite this fact, people still seem to give Gil more respect than Thomson which doesn't make much sense to me.

I'd say Thomson by decision again. I think he's the overall better fighter.

I picked Josh to win the first time and I'm picking him to win again; maybe by stoppage!

I've always thought Gilbert is one of the most overrated fighters out there. People had him ranked in the top 10 when the only notable person he beat was C-Level (At that time) Clay Guida. Before he lost to Ishida some people had him almost in the top 5.

He beat Kawajiri who at the time was a top 5 lw, Melendez is still a great fighter but I see Thomson dominating once again.
