    This is a GOOD post, and one I agree with in many areas. I still think it would be a punch battle more than anything else, but maybe Morrison could win the day with a better chin (he'd need it) and stamina.

    I would lean towards Shavers here early because of styles.

    Shavers KO 2 Morrison

    I say Tommy gets him out of there within two rounds, with his handspeed and early aggression being the deciding factor. Of course, there is always the possibility that Earnie could catch him coming in and flatten him for the count, but more often than not I think Tommy`s quicker hands would find their mark before Earnie`s more powerful but slower fists do.
