    Griffith has no trouble beating McGirt. Griffith W15 McGirt...with room to spare.

    Griffith is far too strong over 12 or 15.

    Would be a good close technical fight until Emile's strength, jab and subtle footwork start to make the difference.

    Yeah, fight's over as soon as Griffith starts leaning on him. Too big and strong to offset with only a medium sized gas tank.

    I think Emile would stop Buddy within 12.

    aye, it would probably be more of an exhaustion based "hitting the wall" sort of stoppag ie McCallum vs Watson rather than a clean punching stoppage.

    I think sometimes that Buddy's massive elongated head was the key to him never having quite the best stamina in the world.:yep

    :lol:

    I've never thought of that before as a reason for his mediocre stamina, but it makes a lot of sense. That bonce definitely must have been a burden to lug around all day.
