    Liston would knock Gibbons out, probably batter him around and bust him up for a few rounds with the jab, then KO him in 6 or 7 rounds.

    This version of Dempsey was rusty so he might have to go the distance with Machen as he did with Gibbons. (I'd expect a PRIME Dempsey to KO him quick though)
