Not much being talked about this particular matchup.
Tapia is the betting favorite and just might f*ck up my parlay.
Tapia -140 Kirkland +110
The kid has won 7 of his last 9 by KO and has some speed to boot.
Kirkland has been on the shelf since a March 2012 DQ win against Molina which he didn't look too good.
I think this fight will be determined by how the time off affects Kirkland.
Who you got?
Can anyone recall the opponent Tapia got his jaw broke against? I think it was the first punch of the fight. It was nasty.
Pretty sure he knocked the guy senseless too seconds later.
Tapia the favourite?
Never seen him fight. He any good?
Hes a good prospect. Well rounded, does everything well IMO very mature for a 22yr old.
Recommend his fight with Abe Han (If I recall correctly) who didn't look a bad prospect himself. That fight answered a lot of questions.
I think he easily beats Kirkland. Wipes the floor with him.
