    Two underrated fighters I need to watch more of. I'd like to know your thoughts on this one.

    Starling would really shine against sluggers. His air-tight peek-a-boo defense and counter-punching style was great at grinding down the bangers. But that wasn't Cokes' style. He was primarily boxer with a sterling jab who could pop when he wanted to but it depended on the opponent. I see Cokes taking a bit of a wide 15 round decision in a boring fight.

    Cokes shows the Magic Man some new tricks. I'd see him getting a decision in a competitive but clear fight. Not the most entertaining, either.
