    Possible great fight?
    Or not?
    If Tucker comes in confident and plays his best, then it's possibly one of Bowes harder fights.

    Tucker would give Bowe problems as Bowe seemed to struggle when fighters fought him at range. And Tucker has the size and skills to make it a long frustrating night for Bowe.

    The issue is Tucker doesn't have that extra gear he was a bit too passive and Bowe would simply outwork him.

    Bowe by UD in a closish fight.

    Yea, Tucker did have that tendency to be easy going in fight s, just doing enough.
    Which is a shame cus he was a skilled guy.
    But I actually think he makes it a tougher fight for Bowe than a lot of the guys Riddick fought.
    He had a very good chin, which could enable him to make it a gruelling fight (if he decided to go for it)

    I wouldn’t place any bets but I think this is a fight that Tucker could POSSIBLY win. The key here is to stay busy enough though. He matched Bowe in size and appeared to be a bit more mobile along with having the chin and stamina to go the distance with him. If Tony boxes intelligently and doesn’t go into a defensive shell he might win a decision .

    Bowe would win a decision but Tucker gives him a tough fight. He probably rocks Bowe at some point

    Bowe is a higher level and should win by decision, Tucker is durable, he lasted all rounds against Tyson and Lewis...
