    Don't think I've ever seen this fight available on the internet before. A then undefeated heavyweight contender in Henry Akinwande takes on an aging veteran in Tony Tucker, the latter of whom having previously lost to Bruce Seldon during a fight for the vacant WBA heavyweight title.

    Pretty good matchup here.

    Boils down to circumstances I guess. As in who had the long term DKP contract. Where is the bout held. which guy is healthier going into the bout. ETC.

    Probably go with the youth in this matchup. Sometimes the veteran's come up with the W, but usually it is youth served and changing of the guard time.

    Yes, Henry won himself a decision over Tucker.

    This fight was the washed up version of Tucker that lost to Seldon. Prime Tucker easily outpoints Akinwande. Prime Tucker likely stops Seldon in 3 or less.
