ATG LHW Tourney - Round 2 - John Henry Lewis vs Billy Conn

Ahh, another scintillating match up. This one would be a blur of skills and a almost certainly a boxing masterpiece.

Billy Conn, who beat Tommy Loughran to get his place here, fights John Henry, who beat Saad Muhammad to acquire his placement.

How does this one go down? No Post, No Vote.

 

If you need **** on John, this was what I wrote for the last thread.

 

Bump

 

Vote man! Break the tie up for ol' Lew.

 

Lewis through to the final?

 

You *******s! I wanted Lewis in the final!

Anyway, my inclination of how this one goes down is more or less an ATG two-way technical fight, where the two speedsters dash in and try and establish constants, whilst adapting to the variables. Lewis' body work is gonna really hinder Conn's speed late imo, which is actually why I pick him, Conn's defence and footwork is gonna give Lewis huge thinking points like Rosenbloom's did, but Conn doesn't have the workrate I've read about Maxie having, and that gives Lewis thinking time. Conn's minimalist efforts are going to be tested thoroughly, and if anyone is cut out to beat Conn at his own game; It's John Henry Lewis.

I basically see the first 10-12 even, then Lewis takes it late.

Lewis UD15.

 

W-wayyyy it's a draw, and I break the ties.

Lewis is through! With Moore, Spinks and Qawi!
