Napoles has his moments, but mostly gets outboxed and stopped around the 9th round.

The Hitman's size and reach would be too much for Napoles for handle as the Hitman's jabs and big right hands would stop or knock him out in 11 rounds.

While I could see Napoles getting stopped on cuts, I'd bet him to win by a late round stoppage.

If Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles doesn't get cut before round 5, it will be Mantequilla the rest of the way.

Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns legs will betray him again, just like it betrayed him with Sugar Ray Leonard at welterweight.

At 154lbs, well, it's another story. The Hitman by knockout in five.
