Both expert boxers who would always have the measure of someone going on the offence at them. Who would come out on top of this tactical battle, who is the master of the ring in this one, who's footwork will dictate the pace of the fight, who's gonna be able to beat the other to the punch and who's gonna ultimately be the ring general?
Griffith frustrated Tiger with his footwork. Mike Gibbons could look like Charlie Chaplin on roller skates. Pretty comfortable picking Mike in this one.
Id favor Gibbons in a close one to outmaneuver and outbox Tiger, hed have to keep boxing and not mix it up in close too much, Tigers got a mentionable size advantage and Mike may be able to do well up close with his slippery defense and accurate punches but hed be in more danger there than when boxing. Hed have to play matador and stick to it
