    Two quick and skillful guys.

    On his best day, I would take El Radar to outsmart and counter punch his way to a competitive but clear UD. Napoles tended to cut and swell easily and Benitez IMO was quicker also and that would play a big role considering the styles of the two.

    Benitez via UD,

    I really don't know on this one. I'd lean towards Napoles by the skin of his teeth, I think.

    Agreed. Extremely close and not easy to score.

    Real tough one... Napoles' offense was as difficult to handle as Benitez's defense... both guys could counter like crazy

    Both had pretty similar straight up and 'alert' defensive styles, I'd say. they'd be an interesting foil for each other

    indeed


    Nap was more aggressive, Benitez more likely to pounce in spurts like a cat
