    Toughman Bonavena known to absorb punishment, Could he withstand the onslaught of Dempsey? Bonavena got by two close decisions over Carnera & Tua to get to this round. Will be hard pressed to outwork Dempsey, who has been a force in this Tournament.

    Please give reason for prediction. Please give predicted result.
    Round 3. 15 Rounds.
    Last bout of round Three.

    I like Demsey here. He was a much sharper puncher and fast and savage. Oscar showed some trouble with speed and an acurate punch. Guys like Zora Foley, Jimmy Ellis had him down and Ali dropped him with an acurate punch. I like Dempsey by a stop or UD with Oscar hitting the deck a few times
