    Harold Johnson 15 unanimous. Better skill and technique, more polished, than gibbons. One guy had a high gaurd with possibly the best jab in history. The other a low guard. How is gibbons going to defend harold's jab?

    I envy your simplistic understanding of boxing technique.
    High guard, good. Low guard, bad. :lol:

    Both fighters had very good skills and technique. But Johnson also was muscular and an athletic guy. Maybe that this would be his advantage in such an interesting fight.
