    Great technical fight for the purist. Neither possessed that debillitating punch that would take you out, although they have done it at certain times of their career to certain opponents. It would not happen here, however, because both possessed all-time great jaws. A solid 15 rounder fought at a bristling pace (IMO) with Perkins just shading it.

    They would split a few bouts IMO. This rivalry would not be settled in just one fight.
