    The title winning Mills v the incarnation of Andries who beat Jeff Harding in their second fight. Let the mayhem commence.

    Winner to fight John Conteh!

    I liked Andries. A really hard tough guy. Had he benefited from a much busier career and a 1940s boxing circuit that Freddie did I would have no problem picking Dennis here. Freddie might meet someone his own size who can out-brawl him but Mills, of title winning form, would also use his much better jab to outpoint Dennis who becomes sloppy and frustrated as the fight goes on.

    I think that version of Andries takes this.
    I admire what Andries did with his career, until he went to the Kronk he was a largely crude and indisciplined operator I think Mills who could bang stops that version.
    After being refined by Steward I think Dennis had enough to take this and stop Mills late in an exciting fight.

    This could be a right, banging war!
    I see both hurt and down, with Dennis coming back, to stop him in 10.

    Another good un, Stevie!
