    Maxim on points, one of the easier picks for me. Most good boxers beat Nino, Moore, Johnson, Folley, Machen, plus Maxim took a great punch.

    Nino was just too wide open, maxim just too much polish and craft. Maxim was tough enough and clever enough to survive Nino's power too. Unless there is a freak accident I can't see any other result other than a Maxim points win. Prime valdes is not beating anyone who beat a prime Jersey Joe Walcott.
