    Kenty only had a few fights a Jr Welter, if I'm right, so I'm taking Taylor by late round stoppage, probably 11th round, or unanimous decision.

    Taylor by decision based on speed, aggression, and sheer volume of punches. Kenty was a fine boxer but he just wouldn't be able to keep up with meldrick or to match his workrate, therefore being forced to be on the defensive most of the fight. Hilmer would land his share of punches but not nearly enough

    Hilmer could make this fight interesting for 4, 5 rounds, but the speed factor would be phenominal for Meldrick, and he would use it to take a 12th round stoppage.
