    Agreed that it would be fun while it lasted. But I don’t think it would go past the 6th round.

    a slaughter in my eyes
    Bowe wipes the floor with Buddy in a couple of rounds - too fast, too skilled, too much variety

    Baer was a 6'6 250 pounds dreadnought

    Tough fight yes, but Bowe has too many tools for Buddy.

    I think Riddick defeats Max’s younger relative though I don’t think he necessarily achieves same via an early round knock out - perhaps a stoppage or knockout upon or after the half way mark.

    Despite Jake’s gameness, Large Daddy simply has too much artillery.

    I’ve gone the anti “B” route. Or at least I hope I did. :confused:

    I thought all this alliteration had gone to your head then, Jake, and you were going to give us a poem.

    Baer the younger was a very hard puncher and the size of a modern sized heavy
    but if Bowe had a go and went for a quick kayo would he bother Baer or would our Bud be ready?
