    Yeah, Davis was a quality operator, really let's it fly at times. Haven't seen his fight with Watt, how did that go?

    Taylor has the kinda' style where he'd always be stifled by a bit of movement, but as always it's great to see him do his thing. One of the fastest fighters I've ever seen at any weight, Gamboa reminds me of him.

    I had it:

    Taylor 10 - 9 Davis
    Taylor 10 - 9 Davis
    Taylor 9 - 10 Davis
    Taylor 9 - 10 Davis
    Taylor 9 - 10 Davis
    Taylor 9 - 10 Davis
    Taylor 10 - 9 Davis
    Taylor 9 - 10 Davis
    Taylor 10 - 9 Davis
    Taylor 10 - 9 Davis

    95-95

    I think in the thread a few of us had the exact same card. Good fight.

    Watt won close but clear, he was a dirty bugger though!! Davis just didn't have enough meat on his punches or "devil" in his work to be a world champ.

    Davis-Taylor was a strange fight because Taylor was considered a bit green and Davis was considered over the hill. "Pick 'em!".

    As I say, if I'd gone with Davis having the 3rd I'd have had it a draw as well.

    Kinda' fight where Taylor would be gettin' massacred on the forum for a week after ;-)

    Someone dig up my scoring of this fight. Think I had it fairly clear for Meldrick still.

    I can see that as well, as I say there were only a few rounds that Davis won clearly IMO.

    If a flat as hell Dempsey could KD Tunney, I have a feeling at LHW Charles could turn the trick.

    Was he that flat in the 2nd fight though Greg? Am I not wrong in thinking that he shed some ring rust in their first meeting?

    Besides, Charles isn't going to bum rush Tunney and catch him like that. I think Tunney had a very good beard myself.
