    Who wins in this prime for prime matchup

    1. Bought takes place in Norton's time
    2. Bought takes place in Johnson time

    Would it change anything if Both fighters were allowed one tune-up bought in their opponents time before facing them? So they'd get some gym work in and a fight. Would that change your picks at all for the above where they were just placed in that time period for the match.

    We talking Skr@piron Johnson, or Jack Johnson?

    Johnson wins scenario 2, and Norton wins scenario 1.

    Johnson wins easily in both scenarios.

    I believe Jack is all wrong for Ken, his defense was all picking off and parrying punches and Ken's weren't hard to see and not powerful enough to break through Johnson's defense. In close Jack would catch Kenny with both hands then tie him up often. Jack wasn't a big puncher but Ken wasn't great at taking them either, Jack by clear decision and he may have stopped Ken late from the accumulation of those short shots.
