    To be fair to both fighters, we will use a hybrid ruleset -- early 20th century rules, skintight gloves, fight to the finish. Who wins?

    I'd go with McVey based upon his greater experience (typical of fighters from his era). Though I suppose the size differential may be relevant as well.

    It's not the size of the dog in the fight ,it's the size of the fight in the dog.

    ps I do hope this is prime for prime?

    I'm going for an X Ray tomorrow and not especially hopeful about the results.

    Granted, though it's a pretty significant weight difference.

    Of course. Both fighters at their respective best.

    Sorry to hear that. Best of luck.

    For whatever it is worth I will be praying for you and your family. I have enjoyed your posts for 10+ years and think of some of you guys as extended family!

    Hope all goes well
