    These two would likely cancel each other out waiting for the other to take the lead IMO. Would Kalule do better than Ronnie Harris??

    I was thinking 11-4 to a shutout sort of decision for Kalule myself.

    10-5 or 9-6 if it's at Luna Park and he fights out of his skin.

    I haven't seen Corro against Antufermo, only one of the Valdez fights and Harris, a southpaw but nothing like Kalule really.

    Gimme more of a breakdown Mante'.

    You're not missing much not seeing the Vito fight.

    It's genuinely terrible.Vito doesn't really have the skill to break down such a cautious opponent and Corro more or less gives up in the last third, when Vito does start getting to him. Hugo was probably in front by a few rounds as well, until he folded.

    As much as I like Ayub Kalule,

    Hugo Corro by a TKO 9.

    He was stronger than anyone could imagine.

    pepe this is not a thread you post predictions of KO's in.

    Show some respect to the pillow fisted Combatants please.

    I'll go with Corro a 15 round decision. He fights conservatively as hell until the lst three rounds, ala his 1st fight with Valdez. I know that Kalule would have been a younger foe than Valdez, but Corro did "safety first" better than Kalule.

    :lol:

    Did Jimmy Price have the worst chin ever, crushed inside a round by Kalule and Graham?

    Early Hugo Corro,,,,,,,,,

    By April 1978 - 43-2-1 (24 KO's),

    Hugo could set you up with many jabs, then feint, and boom a straight one down 'Broadway'.

    He had 'granite chinned' Rodrigo Valdez all 'rubbery legged' in both one-sided wins.

    Ayub Kalule did lose to Hans-Henrik Palm in the amateurs, who couldn't break
    an egg with a sledge-hammer.

    That's not too good.

    Hugo, too big, too strong and too cagey. Ayub too predictable.

    April 1979 'Fight Date'

    Computer says, Hugo Corro scores a TKO at 1:57 of Round 9.

    pepe weren't you arguing that Kalule had a "near granite" chin in some of the fight threads you did on him a few months ago:lol:

    You must think Corro was some beast of a puncher.

    No, I said Ayub Kalule had a good chin, not 'granite chin'.

    Hugo, was a good puncher.

    Computer says a TKO, which would not necessarily mean a knockdown.
    I'm thinking more of Ayub getting stunned, and Hugo teeing off with a
    volley of punches on a dazed Ayub.
