    Cooneys early rounds power Vs Jesse's durability and jab.
    Could Ferguson pull off an upset??

    Ferguson may not be able to keep Cooney off. Cooney likely wins, he certainly starts better, and could get the early KO, but if Ferguson gets out of the first few rounds, he might be able to hustle his way to a decision win.

    If Cooney paces himself and applies educated pressure behind the jab, he can also win a decision though.

    Yep agree with that , two scenarios for me.
    One is Cooney connecting early then hurts Ferguson and stops him.
    Two is Ferguson survives the early storm ,his durability sees him exhaust The bigger punching guy and takes over the card's.
    Getting him self a close decision.
    It's not totally impossible to imagine IMO.

    Looks like a KO win for Cooney. Not sure how long it goes
