    I think Darcy has every trait and skill to win, I need to read up more on Booker, like how is his chin ? against Darcy it needs to be awesome. With more knowledge on the other guy I may have an idea how the fight goes, long or short, points or by KO... styles make matches

    Booker had an excellent chin, never stopped, Booker took the bunker busters of Marshall without falter, Moore was able to get him down 4 times in their series but never could keep him there

    Booker was a smart fighter, he could box, come forward or fight inside very well, he was a very very serious body puncher and a strong durable guy

    Booker and Darcys styles would make for a very interesting fight

    Not sure. But definitely sounds like no one has an easy time with Booker. He has some history with great fighters

    Sounds like nobodies getting knocked out then because Darcy never even went down. Booker may have to get off canvas as Darcy is a monstrous body puncher. They both sound like a good match in skills too, Darcy probably has the better reach unless Booker is very tall.

    I doubt hed have to get off the canvas I dont see Darcy as the puncher Moore was and Booker wasnt soft to the body

    They are very evenly matched, when I think of a fighter who would be similar to Booker physically & style wise Darcys a guy that fits the bill

    Bookers taller not sure about his reach, I dont really think reach is an indicator of a better jab or outside game though, especially if its a very small difference.
