    I like to see the respect that Bowe is receiving here. He deserves it. That said, I still think Clay outpoints him. Bowe was too stationary, not enough footwork, relatively slow footed actually, and Clay was too damn fast and fleet of foot. Cassius was plenty busy, and though Bowe's defense wasn't bad, it wasn't all that great either, and certainly not good enough to handle those lasers that Clay would fire in, and with all that footwork, head movement, lean backs, and blazing quick sharpshooting shots, I just don't see Bowe landing anything more than one solid shot at a time on occasion, which wouldn't be good enough to defeat Cassius.
