    This is a good fight. Well to start with Jen what do you think?

    I think Gene has a good chance if he outboxed Jack 19 out of their 29 rounds...

    Marciano made a career out of beating clever boxers, using brute force and ignorance.

    He did it far too many times to bet against him.

    However if such a boxer is ever going to do it, then Tunney might just be the man.

    So I go with Marciano, but I expect a good fight.

    Tunney would outbox him until Marciano got some main protagonist like flashback and clips him with his overhand right.

    Tunney would slash Marciano to ribbons but I don’t think he had the firepower to stop Marciano from coming at him, and something tells me Gene is going to get tagged and go night night.
