    Could Moore overcome the size difference like he did with Nino Valdez?

    I believe that Savarese comes from the medieval name Savarisius, which is likely of French etymological roots, and brought to Italy during the Norman conquests of southern Italy, in particular, which had occurred from 999 to 1194. Normans were essentially French Vikings, as the term tracked back to Norse/North man. I believe this to have, in some way, led to Melus, the Lombard nobleman from the Apulian town of Bari, to renounce his Dukedom and retire to a condo in Florida, marrying a Jewish woman and producing rap music under the name "Thunder Gunt 3000." I guess from my comment you can tell who I am picking and how but I will say this: The TG3 album "Chode Bone Joe & The Wang Dang Doodle Dang Happy Band" by Michael Bolton is one of the best albums I have ever heard in that genre EVER.

    Moore surely lands at will against the limited Savarese and stops him.

    I’d also be confident that a post-Patterson Moore gets the better of him, maybe on points though.

    All of us are "limited" in the eyes of our Lord, but through our Lord, we become limitless and therefore it is we who are all equals under God. That spells trouble for Moore, because that means he's got an equal on his hands now, rather than just a guy. But, that cuts both ways, like a double-edged broadsword. For it means to Savarese that he has an unlimited equal to contend with. They say that when a rhino charges an elephant it is an unstoppable force versus an immovable object, they both kill each other. Well, what if it's two rhinos or two elephants. Then they are EXTRA dead. Unless it's two elephants and they both just stand still. Meaning the fight is not signed. In that case, it is not a good metaphor. Let's say that they are both rhinoces-rhinoceru-rhonceriuous-let's say that they are both rhinos. In name only. Name and charging skills.

    So, like, let's say that you have the horns, okay? the horny bit that the rhino has? What's a boxer gonna do with that? He's gonna either jab it or use it like a straigh'ing kind of thing that goes right into you, is what I'm saying. You ever been done with a straight horny kind of thing like that? Well, what if you've got two of 'em then? What about that, yeah? You have to use your imagination about stuff like that in a fight like this is all I'm talking about.
