1982-83, Davey Moore vs Tony Ayala Jr, 154

Man this one is,hard to call both can bang and both are very offensive minded.
Tony threw the shorter more compact punches but Moore has the better hand speed.
I like Moore alot but the problem is he is so easy to hit and while Tony will never be mistook for Benitez his defense was significantly better.
Moore has the heart Tony is a question mark in that department and kind of struck me as having a bullies mentality. Would he fold if he can't shake Moore?
All that said I think Ayala catches Moore in the one of many exchanges and finishes Moore off.

 

I've always gone with the far more proven fighter in this one. It doesn't guarantee the win but it feels safer. TKO7
