    This fight can go two ways IMO. Early ko for Jackson or Zale grinds his way to a points win. I'm going for the latter. Thoughts?

    I haven't seen much of Zale other than the Graziano fights, when he was on the slide.
    His defence didn't appear to be the best which obviously against Jackson would be an issue.
    Having said that he took a monster hitter like Graziano's best shots in two of those 3 fights and dispatched Rocky ruthlessly. He was a tough cookie,and a destructive body puncher.
    I think Zale would come though Jackson's attack and stop him mid fight.
    I think this basically comes down to who's tougher, and I think that's Zale.

    Zale was a murderous puncher ! This is a total gunfight. First one to land properly wins by KO probably inside 4 rounds.

    I don't see this going the distance. Impossible to rule Jackson out but I favour Zale to weather the early storm and come through around the 7th or 8th with Jackson tiring.
