    Midrange slugfest.
    Max Baer V Ron Lyle scheduled for 15 but it's probably not going that far...ever.

    I think anything could happen to be honest.
    Baer could hit like hell, solid Chin where's Lyle was tighter on defence,at least more than Max.
    I'm going to go for Lyle by last rounds ko.
    His straighter punching and better stamina carries him through.
    He'd be rocked and hurt, maybe kd, but I'm going with him to perceive.

    Lyle tko 11

    Lyle’s too much of a sucker for a right hand for me to see him beating Baer.

    Baer was tough till he fought Louis then he was yellow through and though. I think he d be scared with Lyle as well. A muscular hulking ex con. Even so he d be meeting someone with just as much power and more tough ness. Though he could probably make it a slufest Baer caves when going gets really rough and stays down.
