    Rugged fighter who never stopped punching and pressuring,vs an entertainer with a god given talent to punch in quickies and dodge punches in less than a second,who wins?

    Sung Kil Moon is a physical anomaly he’s my pick.

    I would say stylistic anomaly too.
    His form looked sloppy by naked eyes but dude always founds a target to his punches.

    Medina and Ali were both “sloppy” in there own ways and they got by… desire and experience go a long way in fighting even with limited instruction.

    Agreed, it's an awful match-up for Johnny imo.

    Moon wasn't good against Greg Richardson.Tapia much better than he.

    Picking Moon to beat Tapia convincingly but it'll be fun to watch. If Moon can beat up great boxers like Gilberto Roman and Hilario Zapata with ease then he also has a good shot at Johnny Tapia.

    I guess I'm against the grain here. I think Tapia outboxes Moon to decision.

    Somehow I can see the vision too.

    Moon actually kinda sucks vs techniciana.

    Tell that to the late Gilberto Roman (a better fighter than Tapia btw).

    Roman is better than Tapia,but dude, Salazar, Bueno and Khaokor were all technicians and made Moon look bad.

    You mean the version of Roman who had previously been brutalized by NYK not two fights earlier? Dude wasn't the same after that, and it showed. If he beats an earlier, better version of Roman than I'd be impressed. But he beat Zapata and Roman when they were well past it/damaged goods so I'm not.

    Plus, Tapia did well against aggressive fighters.
