Napoles has the skills and punching ability to prevail here, but Pryor will keep him working. But eventually, Napoles will get the upper hand on the hard-charging Hawk through superior firepower.
I like Pryor because of the style, it's the back Napoles up I always talk about. It would be more difficult to do at 140 than at 147 though imo so that's the only real reservation I have.
Tyson by knockout. Are you stupid? atsch What the hell is that featherfisted freaker going to do to fend off an '88 Tyson? :rofl
Napoles sure seemed cool as a cucumber under Adolph Pruitt's pressure though. I don't think going at Napoles is a very smart idea unless you're physically bigger. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR-kuFNSXrA[/ame] 4:30
Napoles is just technically so much better in every facet. Agree with TGA that pressuring Napoles with your chin hanging out made you liable to being ko'd no matter how good your chin was
Mantequilla has the superior firepower Pryor was a resilent fighter, but even he had his limits, and soon or later he was going to feel Mantequilla's deadly combos with laser-like precission
as I say that's the only reservation I have, the size, and you have a good point. Imo outboxing Napoles is not really an option and one thing I have to consider is Pryors ability and skill level as a swarmer, I think he has as good a chance as anyone in that division at breaking up Napoles' rythm. It can't be done by anyone less than a great fighter. Very difficult one for me to pick and because of how I see the styles match up I don't share the same sentiments as everyone who is taking Napoles easily,
i think napoles but am not certain , this is simply a great fight between two of the best 140lb fighters ever
