    This will be a tough match up. Randall was no joke at his best, and Angott will not want to trade with him. The best strategy I see for Angott is landing shots quickly and then hugging, not allowing Randall to get off in return. He'll probably lose a point or two in applying this strategy if the ref is being fair, but it should give him enough of a points buffer for it not to matter.

    Angott 10 rounds to 5, with 2 points deducted from Sammy for holding or holding and hitting.

    This will be fairly entertaining i'd think. Randall was game, and Angott was great. They'll exchange, and i see Randall getting the better there, and earning points, but i just think Angott can use that experience down the stretch to mix it when it suits him and come out on top of a very tight fight. I originally lent towards Randall, but Angott for me.

    Ohhhh, this might be an awful fight, but only because Angott could make a lot of fights awful. Sammy the 'Clutch' would indeed land and grab. He was very strong but so was Randall, which might make it a wrestling-fest. But I think Randall's temperament holds together and stays outside enough to build points with his underrated jab. Randall on a 15 round decision.
