    Tapia just too easy to hit.

    Would be a fun fight for the first 3 rounds before Zarate slowly takes over and eventually wears down Tapia with body shots to a stoppage. Tapia won't be able to brawl with Zarate nor be able to box outside because of Zarate's length and pressure.

    I think Wilfredo Gomez beats both of them! But on topic, Zarate should take this, potentially stopping Tapia, but out of respect I will take Zarate by points over 12 and a stoppage if this is slated for 15

    I have a feeling that Gomez would stop Zarate in 4 one sided rounds, but it's just a hunch...

    ****! I forgot it was TKO 5 instead of 4. Lol.

    I think Zarate would put a whuppin on Johnny before knocking him out circa 7-9.
