Roland La Starza v Jimmy Young

[Stevie G]

Two very skillful contenders.

I think it would be a very close fight, but Young, at his best, circa Foreman, Ali and Norton handles him well and wins a decision.

That's how I see it,Cobra.

Tough one....both were similar in level IMO......I would bet in Young though....

Definitely Jimmy Young. He beat a pear prime George Foreman. Lastarza wouldn't even get into the ring with Nino Valdes or Bob Baker.

I'm not a fan of negative Young, but he wins this one. Lastarza was somewhat protected,imo.

Fixed.

pear prime, nearly deceased dehydrated George Foreman is still a lot better than dan bucceroni and a over the hill rex layne

Bitch could be apple prime, persimmon prime, lemon prime, pear prime, he was still almost dead and hands of foam could barely even knock him down. You do what you do, I do what I do. I've got a script to follow.

I gave Suzie a pass for that first time around ,but when he repeated it,I guess some one was bound to shake his fruit tree.

I don't understand some of the negative comments about Roland. I saw the 2nd Rock scrap (including him sparring and speed bagging prior) and I was very impressed. He and Jimmy would have been a decision one way or another for sure. I can't think of the judge's name but I used to use him in a trivia question with my buds years ago. "Why is judge **** a trivia point?" Because he is the only judge to score Rocky a loser in a fight. Sadly Rock & Roland's first scrap is NOT available to view as far as I know.
