    How do you see this entertaining scrap go between Tapia and Watanabe? Would Tapia do well enough to outwork Watanabe or would Watanabe punish Tapia with his own dynamic offense?

    I would confidently say that a peak Watanabe outclasses Tapia.

    Watanabe from the latter half of his reign might get outworked, or the earlier version from the Kim and first Poonterat fights etc. The version though from the Ballas fight, Poonterat rematch and Oguma fight etc I'd put money on being a bit too complete a boxer-puncher for Tapia.

    He was a machine against Ballas.
