    Who wins this ugly fight? It could end up being a lame fight, but who takes it?

    Walcott wasnt exactly a model of consistency, but if he is "on" he beats Young.

    Walcott would "attack", more than Young would "attack". Walcott by SD.

    Young was very beatable, but was always difficult to fight, I think Walcott was a superior fighter all in all and knocks young out in the late rounds

    This is s toss up ,either man could cancel the other one's good work out.
    If I have to choose and both on there Best day , I'd say young by a narrow Dec .
