Tapia has a solid chin but not much power to speak of. I see Donaire's shots getting more attention from the judges in fight that goes the distance.
Nah, not really. As we know, Donaire turned out to be quite Sanchez-esque in that he was pretty poor at chasing down world level out-boxers, and he didn't have the excellent feint game and baiting crouch that Sanchez had. I feel like Tapia would fight like he did Konadu, and refuse to exchange with Donaire. I don't think he'd have the opportunity to let his hands go often, as he wouldn't get set enough.
