    Napoles butchers Oscar...like he did Cokes, but Oscar wouldn't cut the 15 round distance.

    Jose by points but a good, enjoyable fight. Oscar is tough but Jose has the edge here.

    I think Oscar is better than Cokes.

    Napoles. I don’t think Oscar has the stamina to last 15 and Napoles was too slick for him.

    Trinidad hit harder, Quartey had a better jab,Carr was a good fighter.Napoles was a great welter who could be cut .I don't see Napoles doing what he wants with Oscar, Oscar could bang a bit and had fast hands.I pick Napoles but I don't think it would be any walkover and I'm surprisaed some do!

    I favor the better skilled Napoles, but some here are seriously underrating
    Delahoya.
    I see a tough fight early on, with Delahoya's height, Reach, speed, and educated
    jab causing Napoles some early concerns (Especially if he gets cut).
    Napoles would began to pull away from Delahoya the 2nd half of the match
    because he was a better fighter from rds 8-15 rds than Delahoya
    was, who tends to unravel against great competition in long fights.
    Napoles would get his distance ,and began to put on a classic counter
    punching exhibition that would make Delahoya gun shy.
    Napoles wouldn't blow Delahoya out the water, but he'd win a
    UD if the fight isn't stopped by a unfortunate bad cut.
