    Yuri wins this, and decisively at that. His textbook boxing ability, straight punches down the middle and crunching power will be too much for Tapia to overcome. Tapia will be weary of Yuri`s power once he tastes it for the first time, and will be on the defensive for most of the night afterwards.

    Tapia takes Yuris best shots, and outworks him with blistering, unpredictable aggression and combination punching.

    Yuri at his very best outboxes Tapia IMO. Less flashy, but more skilled and a higher ring IQ than Johnny.
