Bob Satterfield vs. Jimmy Young

12 rounds at heavyweight.
Boxer against puncher...how do they match up?

I'm beginning to appreciate Satterfield more lately...as an action fighter.

Young outboxes Satterfield to win a dull UD. Compare this to when 'Irish' Bob Murphy lost to Joey Maxim in a lightheavyweight title fight. Murphy was a huge puncher but Maxim was just too slick. This would be a similar outcome IMO.

Satterfield was a very exciting fighter who could upset anyone, but lose to a mediocre fighter the next day. I think Young is a class too high for him though; Bob will have severe trouble landing his punches while Young cunningly uses the ring and sticks a few jabs and 1-2's in. Don't forget Young was very durable: he survived Foreman's onslaught in the 9th. I'd pick him by decision.
