Paulie Ayala vs. Johnny Tapia II

---

About a year and a half after their first hellacious battle, Paulie Ayala gets a second win over Johnny Tapia in another wild brawl of a bout. Tapia wobbles Ayala in the opening round, and they proceed to trade bombs for several rounds. Tapia controls the fight when boxing but gives in to too many exchanges in which Ayala lands the better blows. After twelve more rounds, Ayala is once again declared the winner by unanimous decision, and an enraged Tapia has to be escorted out of the ring by security; meanwhile, his brother in law punches Todd DuBoef of Top Rank.
