LaMotta vs. Gans

The Bronx Bull may be much bigger but Gans wasn’t much smaller than the welters than gave Jake trouble like Zivic. How does this one go?

 

Bump

 

Gans by decision.

 

Lightweight vs middle to super middle who defeated SRR once cleanly and probably twice and had been knocked down only once in his long career...in his last fight.

LaMotta by ko.

 

Joe Gans has a -1% chance of beating Lamotta, the odds are just too wide and the skill margin is not wide enough (is it even that wide at all?), he's not avoiding Lamotta completely for 15 rounds.

 

I’d say the skill gap is pretty wide, Gans was much more well rounded and seemed to have a stylistic advantage as well.

Is it enough for him to overcome the size disadvantage though? I doubt it.

 

Based on all the film of Gans?

 

Hi Buddy.
There was a reason he was dubbed " The Old Master " nuff said.
stay safe J92, chat soon.

The Nelson film, yes. More defensively responsible, more accurate, better timing, anticipated punches and manages distance better, much better movement, just sharper overall.

Not acting like Jake’s a scrub of course, I just think Gans is on another level.

 

Nah

 

I think that the weights, and the styles, definitely favor teh Bronx Bull.
