    I aint seen much of Napa but judging by his record he aint much of a puncher, but on the other hand his opponents record of just 11 fights does not tell you wether he has a chin or not (unless he has already been in with some descent opposition).

    I'm asking this cuz the odds of a Napa KO win are good...40-1 on each round and i have the taste for it now (gambling) afta my successful result on saturday night... it makes the fight so much more exciting to watch aswell.

    What do you predict/think?

    You're going to lose a lot of money if you develop a taste for gambling :p

    With 1 ko in 18 victories I'd say the odds of a ko are pretty slim...Don't think his opponent has ever been down either...

    Napa is completely feather-fisted, but in his previous fight DID drop his opponent with body shots.

    He's also very inconsistent (although he seems to be focused nowadays) so if you're looking to win big go for the upset win for his opponent.

    Probably not likely. I certainly wouldn't pick a round. But a KO outright might be worth a punt.

    However, he did hurt Ballone with bodyshots as the above poster mentions. He really could and should have knocked him out. And I think Ballone was better than this guy. I think he's developed his power a little. At one point he never looked like hurting anybody.

    the only way he'd knock him out is if he had margarito's trainer in his corner to put the plaster in his gloves and even then he might not knock him out lol

    It's not the biggest punching of fights.

    These two have 2 KO's between them, so I think points is a far assumption. If anybody gets KO'd it will be the French dude, Napa's defence is too good.

    Napa is a quality and slick skilful boxer and over 12 rounds could stop hids opponent with clever well placed body shots, he's not a puncher but will definatley win on points or late stoppage, if you're looking for any hints.

    damn i read Napa's record wrong, i saw it as 18 wins with 6 KO's at first, but it's 6 losses and just 1 Ko win...yep doubt i will stick any money on that fight, mite have a look at Klitsckho v Gomez instead.

    I've made a small bit of cash betting over the last few years, and my personal advice is if you want to make money, dont bet on something because the odds look good - bet on who you think will win.

    Sounds stupid but loads of people have a "punt" on someone (or a team) beacuse they think the odds are good. Well it doesent matter what the odds are if your bet loses.

    I know some mathemeticians disagree with this theory - they say that if the odds offered are better than the actual odds then it is a "fair" bet, ie worth taking.

    I dont really go along with this, and my betting style (ie generally betting on favorites with short odds) seems to work for me.
