    I think Schmeling by decision, throwing his excellent right hand enough to keep Smith' honest.
    But Smith was Heavy handed too and Max should be wary maybe.

    Shcmeling could win a decision IF he doesn’t get cornered and hit with too many of those clubbing shots.

    Schmeling easily on points. He held up against harder punchers than Bonecrusher Smith and was an infinitely better boxer.
