He has to do a job on him to get the nod, look what happened to Damaen Kelly when he fought Simone Maludrottu in N-Ireland. I had him winning by 8 rounds and he didnt get it.. Napa got beat by Simone Maludrottu Comfortable and Carmelo Ballone loss to him in Italy on SD so i think he must of won that... Napa is a better fighter now but still has'nt got that KO shot, can he do enough to take the Tiltle?? I hope so
I love watching Napa fight, always busy and very determined. Its a shame he has no KO its always a problem when you step up in class always having to always outbox your opponent. The worst scenario is winning and not getting the decision. I wish the three legged Billy Whizz all the luck in the world I hope he gets it.
I see this being a tough hard fought fight for Napa but a points win for him.
Whats the story with you martin,you still training away ?Any Fights upcoming ?
Napa's poetry in motion, he gets better with every fight. He's got alot of the 'James Toneys' about him, I could watch him slip, slide and pick his punches all day.
I don't recall seeing his oppo fight, but I think Napa will take some beating. Napa to win on points and to do it in style.

He is, but he needs to do it against a high level of opposition, otherwise it's worthless.
ballone has got to be useful losing only by split decision in italy to a decent itallian champion so napa is up against it but hes definetly got the style to impress the judges.I think he ll knick a tight maybe split decision

Thats the way i see it but the other way around, Napa doing enough but not getting it....
It is so hard to take a Euro Title off the Champion on points.. Rendall Munroe boxed the head off Kiko Martinez in Nottingham and only won it on a SD. i can see this fight being alot closer and Napa will have to do something special to get it..
My guess is the italian will be favourite and rightly so. If you go by the formline he should be the winner - Napa was beaten clearly by Maludrottu(although he put up a great effort) whilst Ballone lost on a SD and his only other loss was a DQ. He's won his last 5 inside the distance including stopping an undefeated prospect who had beaten Karim Lopez(decent Euro-level operator at superbantam). I reckon Ballone on points though I'd love Napa to prove me wrong. Napa would be much better suited at superfly as he always looks a bit soft at bantam to me - shame the EBU don't recognise that division.
