    I’m narrowly leaning towards Bugner to take a narrow decision by playing it safe and Nickeling and diming his way on points. Mathis was a tough guy with decent power but he was rarely in shape and often lazy. He has one good win over George Chuvalo which he deserves credit for but little else.

    Hi Buddy.
    Every now and then a pairing comes up that I find very unappealing, this is one such fight, so I probably wouldnt watch it, as to the winner, I would imagine Bugner would win wide in a lacklustre type of fight.
    Mike.

    I don't think Mathis can catch up with Bugner in the ring
