    At bantamweight. Could Tapia handle a slickster like Lora with his superior speed and offense? Or would Lora's defense and counterpunching skills be too much for Tapia? I think Lora also holds the power advantage in this match up.

    I am not very big on Tapia, and have become an appreciator of Lora over the past few years so my pick may be biased but I hope not. I think Lora if focused would take a comfortable decision 8-4 in rounds...as long he maintains focus, and does not make any foolish mistakes or lapses he should pull this out.
