All Time Flyweight Tournament Round 1: Fighting Harada vs Hilario Zapata

I`ll take the Harada of the first Kingpetch bout to beat Zapata via late round stoppage, that version of Harada was like a two handed Joe Frazier with an even higher workrate and high on speed, he was a freaking demon at the weight. Zapata would likely be in the lead early on, but by the mid rounds once he realizes this little jap ain`t gonna stop coming at him and is actually getting stronger as the fight progresses he is gonna start wearing down mentally and physically before getting taken out late.

Harada TKO13 Zapata

 

bump

 

Zapata's smooth boxing skills keeps this one close until the late rounds, where Harada will start to wear on Zapata & take the offensive to wrestle a close , but unanimous decision win.

 

I don't think Harada has the 'snap' to keep Zapata hurt though.

I say Harada on pure workrate, don't think he stops Zapata though.

 

i think the fight is close after ten rounds with zapata just ahead possibly but over the last five i think harada keeps fighting strong and a tiring zapata is happy to hear the final bell. harada by ud

 

Good match up, I think Harada would win a decision due his stamina and workrate as other have mentioned and finish stronger although it would be close Zapata was an excellent boxer with great defence.

 

I'll put it simple, yes i think Harada pulls a Chang (not from their first bout though, of course)

 

I'm not going through this again!

I meant the CHANG from the rematch, not the Zapata.

I haven't seen the first Chang-Zapata bout so i didn't know about the apparent robbery.

 

Fair enough points, I still think Harada's workrate will keep Zapata from firing back anything too conclusive.

 

wasn't saying that. who CAN be right/wrong when you're talkin about a mythical matchup
