    Archie too smart and too good overall. Ingo may have a moment early on, but Moore patiently figures him out and stops him.

    I've got Ingo surprisingly scoring a early rounds ko over Archie .Probably a few rounds of nothing much happening then ..BANG ..Ingo connect s with Moore's head .Archie would be all over the place and another kd would seal the fight.

    Ingo was a classic one trick pony and Archie should chop him up in about five or so but Ingo sure has the puncher's chance in this match up ..

    Me too, Archie wasn't that quick at heavy, and Ingo nails him.

    I concur with this. Moore was clever and an excellent counter puncher but Ingo has a punchers chance

    I'm torn on this one.

    Overall I'll pick Ingo. I suspect he could be quite bad for Archie's crossguard style.
