[NChristo]

Napoles by wide decision, can't really see him having many problems with Pryor.

Wow really? I figure most 140lb fighters would have trouble with a focused prime Pryor over 15.

Pryor stop napoles late on cuts in a back and fourth battle

I consider Napoles a different class of fighter, but Pryor is still one of the most dangerous 140lbers in history, & would have success here. I see Pryor's volume assault & strange angles putting him out in front over the course of the first-half of the fight, but Napoles making sound adjustments & picking Pryor apart with neat counter-shots & clever positioning through the second-half, reining in Pryor's early points lead. By the end, Pryor is still punching but has lost his edge in ring generalship, & is beginning to grow wilder, missing more. Napoles maintains his precision & poise, hitting the front by round thirteen on my card, & then closing the show with a great pair of final rounds.

Napoles on clear, but competitive, decision. Something like 8-6-1, or perhaps a touch wider. Napoles remains under-rated, & Pryor, just a little over-rated.

Excellent analysis. I see it the same way, as long as Napoles' paper thin skin doesn't betray him.

Thank you. I think we'd be in for an at-times exciting clash. Watching Napoles struggle early & gradually overcome Pryor, as I outlined I believe he would, would make for intriguing viewing.

Pryor is overrated, & steered clear of great fighters or even very good ones in their prime, why do all think he moved up from LW where he was originally rated & wanted to fight, because at the time, the LW division was loaded & JWW had an aging past him prime Cervantes as champ, LOL, Napoles beats Pryor, as does any other all-time great, Pryor could not move up & beat a Quality WW, why would anyone think that, who did Pryor beat, Arguello whom he cheated with Panama Lewis & a guy that was on his 4th move up in weight, & near the end also, & Cervantes not known for his power, put Pryor down, LOL
