    15rds prime for prime.Does the Ambling Alp keep Buddy off with his jab ,or does Buddy get home with some big shots to slow the Italian to a walk and stop him late?

    I'm going for Buddy by late tko.

    Primo is a class above on paper, but Baer might just have the tools to take him out, and Primo didn’t have a good record against the best punchers.

    On the other hand, Primo was proficient on the inside, and this often sealed the deal against fighters of equal size!

    Carnera. Better boxer, better fighter. It might be similar to the Impelletiere fight.

    Impelletiere was 7-3-0 and he never beat anyone.
