    Basilio's natural size and strength would ultimately prevail.

    Basilio by clear decision.

    Agree with the above poster, will only add that McLarnin will do well while he still has his legs and mobility, once Basilio`s body attack and strenght take their toll though the tide will have turned in the onion farmers favour for good en route to a convincing win.
