    In keeping with Mantequilla week :D

    Good matchup but Im almost certain if they fought in a 15 rounder Napoles stops Tszyu in rounds 11-15. Over 12...Kostya probably goes the rounds but gets busted up.

    I see the first 2/3 of the fight being quite competitive, Napoles probably edges most rounds before he takes over later on with Tszyu's tendecy to fade late coming into play.

    Tszyu was an intense fighter but far from a volume puncher or all out pressure kind of guy ..He would give Napoles room to work because thats where he was at his best aswell..Just not has good as Jose.

    But one interesting factor in this fight would be there is a significant chance that Kostya's pin-point right would cause enough damage to the notoriously thin skin of Napoles to possibly force a stoppage on cuts.

    9 time out 10 Jose wins either late stoppage or decision. At least once Im sure Kostya gets a cuts stoppage.
