Schmeling was the more accomplished heavyweight. Close but I take him to win by late KO.
Schmelling is a better technician with better head movement. Tunney the quicker footwork and maybe faster hands, not that there's much in it. Both masters of their use of range. Lead towards Schmelling but not much in it.
I'm apparently in the minority here, as I would favor Schmeling. A little surprised this one is so one-sided. Not because I think I'm "correct", but rather because I'd have imagined this one being close to even.
I am also on Schmeling side, but that's because he's one of my favorites But to be honest, I think that Tunney relyling a lot on his jab could be dangerous. Schmeling was extremely good against jabbers.
Tunney would be landing his straight right behind his jab ,his quick feet would be the difference here imo.
My thought process was similar, in that Schmeling was very clever at finding ways to disguise that mean right.
