this fight is going to take place at brentwood 22nd of january napa has had a great 18 months but my money is going to be on jamie for this fight i know everyone is going to disagree because you will have not seen much of jamie mac but i am going to put my money were my mouth is on this one.

Jamie's a great little fighter with only 2 defeats against Lee Haskins & Chris Edwards But i wouldn't bet against Napa winning this clearly on points.

yer both of his defeats were contraversial edwards maj points in only his 9th pro fight and never been more than 6rnds before plus he was only in the gym 3 times a week. jamie was only 20yrs old then the other to haskins 77-76 jamie smashed him for last 2 rounds and struggled to make that weight with only 2 weeks notice.
jamie now lives in the gym and knows what the pro game is all about and is big n strong at this weight he is now 23 and has got his man strengh.
i think its going to be a cracking fight n the mac to win....

dapa napa UD

I can see that Jamie's defeats were close fights, I cant see anything apart from a UD for Napa here. He is a far more skilled boxer than Edwards and Haskins. Jamie will have never been in with some with the skill of Napa.

Think Jamie as gone under the radar... Napa didnt look too good last time winning a close maj decision over a raw but stong Davis.
Napa always stuggles against tall opponents Jamie bein 5.10 he will be a giant over napa at 5.1.
Because Jamie has not bein seen much on tv hes an unknown!
To say he has not bein in with anyone as skilled as Napa is crazy(allthough i know what your saying)
Jamis was a school boy champ,2 junior abas,2 gold multi nations,bronze medal at junior olympics...... i think he will have had to beat some skilled fighters to claim those titles.
These forums are great we all have our own oppinions :P

napa has bein a great fighter and a great servis to british boxing...... but its time for mac 23 young fresh and wants to win

they are great, and i disagree with yours


napa won easily for me and i don't care what the scores said, 10 yards from ringside it was pretty clear to me that napa landed 3 times the number of clean shots Davies landed, the 'spray from the head test' that i like to apply for live fights was well slanted in Napa's favour

maybe you're right he 'didn't look too good' he didn't shine and didn't in his own words get out of 2nd gear but he was never out of control of that fight IMO, lost no more than 4 rounds IMO plus had a 10-8 type dominating, dominating round in the 11th when he battered davies from pillar to post.

as for napa struggling with taller fighters- he never fights anyone who isn't taller and he's managed to win somehow hasn't he?

as soon as he gets on the inside, those long arms of theirs work against his opponents and napa starts his rythmn of rolling under right hands and coming back with the left beating you to your own left hook.
