    How does this one play out ? I figure a good fight with 'Mantequila' outrscoring the 'Cuban Hawk' over 15 in a competitive bout. Jose's better skillset proves decisive.

    Great match up, one of my favorites. I think Napoles would take home a close decision as well. But I think this is about as close as you can get to a 50/50 type of fight

    Napoles has no chance, he’s smaller and slower, and his defense won’t hold enough against Gavilan’s own jab, combinations, and counters. It would look like the 1st Bratton fight albeit a bit more competitive, which would still be a domination by Gavilan. Gavilan by dominating UD.
