    Conn uses his head, resists the bravado that costed him vs Louis and wins a masterful 15 round decision over Ruby Robert.

    Fitz was susceptible to a good jabber and Conn was a master boxer with a good chin and great legs.

    Great fight Conn's chin vs Fitz ATG power.....I have Conn by decision the Irish could come out in him and Conn may go for the KO like he did with Louis but I think Conn's chin can handle Fitz power better and he could move at least as well as Corbett did.

    Conn by decision...as long as he understands the possible effectiveness of a correctly thrown
    "solar plexus punch" (By his opponent).
