    Andy was never really outskilled in a points competition, not even against Ruiz. You could bulldoze him and psyche him out, but Sharkey wasn't going to do that.

    Golota would either win a lopsided decision or finish Jack late.

    Anything could happen here, both guys were temperamental.

    Golota way too big for Sharkey. This is not Primo Carnera we re talking about. Golota was a very skilled boxer. 6 4 79 inch reach weighed about 240 and was a talented boxer. Sharkey was 5 11 3/4 197 lbs and somewhere between 72 and 76 inch reach. Andrew’s skill allows him to hit Sharkey equal amount but his punches have more on them which eventually wears Sharkey down and stops him. Could be within 5 rounds.

    Hard to beat someone bigger and more skilled than you
