    :goodI liked Bobick back then, and I wished the best for him,...sort of a compensation for his disasterous Olympic experience,.and to be sure, he looked like he had some promise, as in when he tko'ed Chuck Wepner,...but I noticed a certain lack of power in his ****nal, and vs Fred Houpe aka Young Sanford, I saw that he had virtually no defense against the lighter hitting man's punches...over and over he got hit. I wondered what would happen against a big hitter. That answer came against Ken Norton, then vs Knoetze, then vs Tate. That's why I cringe at the thought of what would happen if he fought Tommy Morrison.

    To my eyes, Bobick was neither a slugger nor a slick boxer. I guess they wanted him to be a standup boxer/puncher with decent power.

    Yup, Morrison>Knoetze>Bobick. Kallie had a huge punch but was pretty crude.
