Wilfredo Gomez vs Johnny Tapia
Posted: 03 Mar 2026, 01:13
At 122 lbs(Junior Featherweight).
12 Rounds.
Neutral location(Las Vegas Nevada).
Tapia was initially mainly fighting at 115, but imo, he easily could've moved up immediately to 118 and then onto 122 within a year.
He fought one of his much later bouts at 130, versus Barrera, and he had his moments in that bout, especially earlier on, but obviously Tapia Really was quite a ways past it by then.
Which makes me firmly reason that a Primetime version of Tapia would've been a very tough bout for Gomez, at 122.
This one is actually super tough for myself to personally pick a likely winner.
I'm actually going to say that it'd be an even looking bout, which would be rightfully ruled a Draw, by properly discernfull judges, or at least Look like it should be ruled a Draw, by most of the fans, even if one or the other gets the Nod(The Victory) on the judges cards, and possibly because of naturally inclined biases involved.
Yes, there are actually some very certain types of hypothetical bouts that I can only see being so evenly matched that it just simply doesn't strike me as a bout where one or the other is likely going to do this or that and therefore most definitely Win.
