    I think it’s pretty close to a toss-up and I really like the matchup.

    I chose Moore because I think he’d be able to outwork Jimmy in enough rounds to put them in his bank. I’m thinking around 9-6 ish over 15 rounds.

    Either had the power to damage or even take out the other, so it would be very interesting to see the chess match play out.

    I don’t think Jimmy Ellis has ever won a fantasy bout LOL he’s a bit of a Patterson but way less frequently brought up.
