    Moochie, if serious, wins 8 or 9 out of 12 rounds.

    Agreed.

    Starling will nullify that jab. What else did Quartey have? He was a 1 armed fighter of the highest pedigree. And that jab of his was stiff alright, but he certainly did get countered in there. Starling too smart and crafty and will counter allnight for the decision and win going away. Plus, I really like Futch to break down that Quartey style and Marlon to capitalize and make Ike look ordinary.

    I think Ike was an excellant "Ön Top" fighter, great when things were going his way, and his opponent a bit cowed or over respectful, but his hunters complextion could change if he was being turned into prey, Jose Luis Lopez only "Flared-up" on occassion and Ike looked rather concerned at this "Treatment" Marlon himself could "Shut-Up-Shop" for long Periods, but then cut loose, in a sort of "The Lord Giveth...and Starling Taketh Away.." fashion...when he did cut loose he was much more precise than the often Lackadaisical Lopez, I think Marlon Maps Ike, Slips into his rhyme.. and clusters Ike back to Caution. we may even get the "Starling Stomp" to add further frustration to Ike...Marlon clearly on Points,
