    Tapia vs McCullough at Bantam. I think this is a toe to toe battle between two come forward aggressors both with solid chins.
    I tend to favour Tapia probably because of his ability to use decent boxing skills in the heat of a battle like in the Romero fight.

    What do you guys think?

    Would be a hell of an exciting fight.. THis was Mccollughs best weight he seemed ot go down a level after moving up... Even though Tapia iMO is a much better fighter.. Style wise Mccollough would pose problems and take some of Tapias speed advantage away by swarming him.. But Tapia still eeeks this one out with his flashier punches and by the end Mccollughs face will tell the difference on who was landing the cleaner bigger shots.. Tapia by cloe but convincing decision 115-112 116-113 type... Lot of the rounds would be extemely close.

    Guarantee no ko here, as both had Iron chins and average power at best.
