    Both Davila and Zamora were originally supposed to face each other in 1980 but it never went through and Davila ended up facing Lupe Pintor in a rematch instead. How do you see this fight turn out? Can Dávila keep up with a puncher like Zamora and outbox him or would Zamora eventually catch up to Davila?

    Zamora, like Zarate, was a huge puncher. But he wasn't skilled like Zarate, and Tweety was taking rounds from Zarate, and consistently won exchanges before the huge left hook. Davila was a fighter who was much better than his record indicates. The only men who could stop Davila were super skilled punchers Zarate and Gomez (in one of his best performances). The 'TKO' to Duarte was due to cuts, and he was up on scores.

    A Zamora KO could be very likely, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and pick Tweety Davila (I'm a fan).

    I'd favor Davila without counting out Zamora's punchers chance.

    Agreed rough, I do think that Zamora is sold short in terms of skill though. Very dynamic upper body movement and quite a nice feinter I've always thought, used his short stature very well.
