Bad matchup for Basilio. Greb batters him for several rounds and ends it by bloodletting in the 7th

Styles make fights and my would these two make for some excitement. But, based on styles (from written knowledge, of course) Basillio most likely gets battered and stopped as he engages a much bigger and stronger man in Greb.

 

It's just a complete war, i don't think the style of Greb is outright bad for Basilio, Basilio wants a fight, he gets one. I think the naturally bigger and stronger man can win it.

 

Haha, i like to get them done.

Fantasy fights are my favourite part of esb classic.

 

I think Greb wins but I can't see Basilio being stopped.

Greb was simply bigger, stronger and also quicker, and he wouldn't be deterred by Basilio pressure. Basilio however was incredibly durable and would go the distance.

A cut/swelling stoppage might be possible depending on the officiating but as long as the referee let him, Basilio would keep going like he did against Robinson in their second fight.

 

Greb wins by TKO

 

Basilio engages Greb but Just doesn't have the strength. Harry takes this on points but has to work for it.

 

I love Basilio but I think that Greb would probably outwork him and outbox him like he did with Mikey Walker.

Greb probably takes a clear UD in a competitive barnstormer. The bout is named ring magazine fight of the year.
