    Napoles does just enough to edge out the Kid over the 15 round distance.

    I believe that Napoles was better all round than Gavilan, and would therefore pick him.

    Napoles beats everyone, ever, other than Leonard and Hearns.

    Good pairing. Both men top 5 welters in my view.


    Napoles just about shades it,I think.

    I'm pretty undecided on this but if pressed vote for Napoles by dec, no one's koing Gavilan.
