    It's been done before, but not in awhile. Who wins?

    I figure Canizales outclasses Tapia in a good scrap.

    Neither is getting stopped, but Canizales just had a lot more firepower and a more sophisticated skillset.

    Good fight with nice exchanges but I think Canizales' better offensive tools, footwork, and power gives him the advantage. Tapia's over willingness to brawl will also play into Canizales' favor, who was an excellent counter puncher.

    Great fight but Canizales by fairly comfortable UD.
