Satterfield was the better technician and had spent years fighting top raters on an almost back to back basis. That said, I'd probably have to pick Bowe, due to his physical capabilities and size. I'm not sure that Satterfield could get a knockout here, and the thought of him going the distance over many rounds to decision Bowe, just doesn't seem likely to me.
While I think magoo is right with everything he wrote, I say Satterfield gets Bowe. Bowe had a leaky defense and while he had a solid chin he wouldn´t stand up very long against Satterfield´s frightening power.
Satterfield could certainly crack. But, in all fairness he was a man who was stopped or Ko'd 13 times in his career, and most of the men he dispatched weighed anywhere from 163 Lbs to 190 Lbs. I really don't think that there are very many guys on Bob's record who were former olympians that stood 6'5", 225 Lbs, were never Ko'd and lost only once to an all time great who they beat twice. Bowe just has too much on his side both legacy wise and in proven ability.
:good If Satterfield was more durable, an upset could easily happen. But he had a glass jaw, and much weaker and softer hitters than Bowe hurt and stopped Satterfield. Bowe is very durable and I don't see him getting stopped early, either. Although Satterfield always has a punchers chance obviously.
I have to go with the flow here. Satterfield would find his mark pleanty and give Bowe some scary moments but ultimately Bowe would pull enough out of the bag to win inside the distance.
Bowe was pretty solid but he did get hit a lot, Satterfield was no joke. This fight is a toss up Satterfield was faster and hit harder but was not as durable as Bowe...Saying that it could last a few rds and it could go late...If Satterfield won I would not be surprised but if I had to bet I may go with the slower but heavyhanded Bowe but Satterfield is a live underdog and could stop Riddick
That´s very similar to how I see it, also I would favour Satterfield slightly due to Bowe´s leaky defence.
I know and I agree with you but with Satterfield´s speed and power and Bowe´s leaky defence I think the chances for a Satterfield are pretty good.
That is certainly a possible outcome but uit would be a rash man who put money on it. Suspect chins cant be depended on to crack any more than they can be depended on to hold up.
With all due respect, I don't think that the "simple minded" comment is necessary. While I also picked Bowe to win, the folks who chose otherwise, are entitled to their opinions without being insulted. Sorry for the slap on the hand, but let's keep it friendly....
