Question

who do you think would win this contest before Barrera schooled Hamed?

Answer 1

Tapia would be too brave for is own good, he had good skills, but would be smaller than Hamed and eventually he&#039;d get caught with one of Naz&#039;s bombs.

Hamed by KO in the middle to late rounds.

Answer 2

Tapia was tough and threw a lot of punches.  However, he took too much punishment and didn&#039;t hit very hard.  Still he could test Naz&#039; chin which was one of his few weaknesses.

IF Naz would box and not clown around he could finish Tapia in the middle rounds.  Tapia would make the mistake of not giving Naz credit for his power, run into an uppercut on the inside and remain in trouble until Naseem finishes him in round 7.

Tapia has a lot of heart but it becomes his undoing as he is unable to cope with the mix of Hamed&#039;s speed, power and unorthodoxed punching angles.

IF Naz clowns the fight would go a bit longer and Tapia would come close to stopping him.

Hamed by KO in 7

Answer 3

Naseem &#039;Prince&#039; Hamed
