Jose Mantequilla Napoles vs Oscar De La Hoya, 147 lbs, both prime.

After a couple initial rounds of flurrying and general busy work from DLH Napoles starts timing Oscar with counter hooks, making him a bit hesitant to wade in. Given this space now, Jose starts incrementally increasing the output, mostly jabs and hooks.

DLH knows he's behind late and steals a couple late rounds through sheer activity to make it seem closer than it really is.

 

i dont see Oscar having any chance to win but he was good enough to go the distance.

 

Only chance for De La Hoya is if he cuts Jose with that jab. Which is a very real possibility.

 

Oscar gets his ass kicked from pillar to post.

 

I'd say this is pretty likely.

 

After a few tough early rounds, it becomes a lesson in
counter punching for Deloyhoa, with Napoles consistently
countering him, or beating him to the punch.
A wide decisive win for Napoles.

 

Napoles wide UD.

 

Another one that Oscar gets pasted in...maybe not as bad as what Monzon would have done to him, but Mantequilla puts a beating on him and outclasses him. Oh, I forgot, Napoles suffers fight ending lacerations during the referee's instructions.
