Either Mantequilla outbox Tito by jabbing and countering him with solid punches on the outside to take a decision or stopping him late or Tito's size and power would be too much for Napoles to handle by catching him with jabs, body punches and left hooks to take a decision or stopping him on a cut eye.

This would be a great matchup. I could see Napoles winning a decision or Tito winning by KO.

Mantequilla's accurate smooth punching will put Tito on the ground. I could only see Tito winning here if he cuts Mantequilla early. If not, Mantequilla on points.

Napoles by UD or 13th round TKO.

People forgot that Mantequilla also had a hell of a chin. The times that he was stopped, it was because of cuts. He took middleweight champ Carlos Monzon's best shots and he didn't go down.
