this is really intriguing match am leaning 60/40 towards davies by stoppage but it wouldn't surprise me if napa can win on points.

It's a very intresting fight Davies hasnt fought a fighter like Napa before I see Napa getting the early rounds outboxing Davies but then Davies will come on strong in the mid-late rounds and win a close decision

this is a close fight, but im leaning towards a gary davies victory by ko.

I feel Napa is on the slide. No power to speak of and Davies is on a roll.

Have to go with Davies.

Clear points victory for Napa.

Too Dapa for Davies, but Davies can come again.

Close fight ...but Davies by ko? Nah, no way, I cant see Napa getting ko'd by Davies, Napa is much more experianced, boxed at a much higher level. Davies wont show Napa anything he hasn't seen before.

Napa on pts, unless Gary stops him early...a real 50/50 at this stage in their careers.

fornicate it haha makes things more interesting, im obv going to go with gary, dont think napa has faced someone who punches like gary, but take power out of the equation for a minute and talk about boxing ability, people are underestimating garys boxing ability( which is fine by me as people said edmonds was going to outbox him which wasnt the case ) lets just say i went along with gary for some sparring he done and not mentioning no names but his sparring partner who is a classy undefeated pro was genuinely shocked at how fast gary was and how good his boxing was so thats another reason i think gary will win as hes improved ever so much in the last 18 months. plus youd have to kill him to get that title away from him!! feel free to abuse now but napa for me is a quality operator and imo his physical size stopped him from being a world champ imo! i.e his size. so if gary wins then it will be fantastic if not he can come again!

feel free to abuse now but im ttying to give an inside view and talking about what i know while trying not to be biased which is hard like!!!

bless you Neil, you tried mate

i think this may be the 'fight too far' i have been expecting for a little while off Napa. not sure if Gary stops him but I can just see him being too much of everything for Napa.

i agree napa has no power davies will stop him for sure

if Napa was a mover it might be better for him but i can just see him gettign backed up onto the ropes too often. even if he is taking shots on his shoulders/ etc and not cleanly, they will wear him down i think.

cheers for the discussion lads was expectin abuse as has happened before, gonna be a great fight on a great night and ps ill be the nervous looking 1 walking gary to the ring haha!!

Napa is one of the most skillful british boxers if not the most, I think Napa will win most of the rounds. Davies is a very strong Boxer who will give anyone a good fight. Davies will give it 100% but Napas skill will be too much for him.

MPG · Post by **MPG** » 14 Oct 2009, 16:02

5 Months ago when this fight was suppose to happen,i had went for Napa to win on points,but now I'm edging towards a Davies stoppage purely because Napa been out of the ring for 7 months now and has been in training for most of that time (due to injuries,2 cancellations) which has an effect on a person.

Taking his age into consideration and the wars he has been in,i just think Napa might not have it anymore but in saying that,he came back from being out of the ring for 3 years after getting beat by Peter Culshaw to win the British and European titles.

He has won the Lonsdale belt outright which in its self is a great achievement.

Hopefully Napa wins because his one of the nice guys but i predict a 7th round stoppage win for Davies.

agree with the 1st part he is one of the most skilled and its a shame like i said earlier that he didnt have better physical attributes to match his skills!

You've got to pick Napa on experience. Davies has obviously improved of late, but he hasn't had many fights and never been past seven rounds. Napa has been 10 or 12 rounds 11 times. Napa will have to be seriously on the slide to lose, I would have thought, unless Davies hurt him early.

jBacca · Post by **jBacca** » 14 Oct 2009, 20:17

Plenty thought Edmonds was gonna' outbox Davies, but Davies suprised us alot that night.

You'd think Napa should win with his experience and boxing ability, but as the fight gets nearer i feel that Davies could suprise us again.

Come on Davies..!
