    Davila wasn't quite good enough to beat the elites at Bantam, but could he handle a superfly 3 pounds lighter in Roman?

    I saw a lot of very very good Davila while in LA,your right he just couldn't get over the top, but I have to go with him again

    50/50 fight for me. Both were almost the same size with Roman having the longer reach. Part of me thinks that Davila might at least be good enough to beat Roman to a close decision win since he won’t be at a major disadvantage in terms of size. Roman is slightly quicker and probably better power but with Davila’s size, ring IQ and craft this could be a tight fight.

    I’ll take Davila slightly. Would be a boxing match for the purists.

    Davila for me, by decision. Really impressed me how he took it to Zarate before he got caught.
