Jack Dempsey VS Michael Moore..two versions

NO, because straight left will usually land before a left hook in an exchange. Look at all of Manny Pacquaio's best wins, they're over guys who focus on their left hook, Barrera, Cotto, Hatton yet it's the guys with A Class right hands who had the best success against him, ie Marquez and Morales

Left hookers always move to the left to set up a left hook btw, it's not a strategy in itself and it opens the left hooker up to the southpaw's power punches in the process

 

Why do you keep calling him Moore?

 

Underrated more than anything. Good technician, tight guard, good inside and out yet powerful. The SHWs and Tyson would have stopped him but he was pretty good.

I think he probably dropped the ball by overlooking an old Foreman, that was meant to be an easy fight for him

 

Where it's thrown from distance as the first punch and straight (not looped)? He throws it plenty at midrange and inside and its a very good chopping right hand, but that's not what a right hand lead is

He should have been advised to do so against Tunney

 

But yeah i dont trust Moorers chin, Dempsey KO

 

I don't see an overweight film director giving Dempsey too many problems.

 

How much weight do you think Dempsey would be giving away

 

I like Dempsey to knock out Moore

 

As someone eluded to earlier, a south paw is vulnerable to right hands and left hooks. Dempsey wasn't exactly larry holmes when it came to his jab so this definitely plays to his advantage. If Moore outboxed him all night and didn't exchange he could possibly earn a UD but once on of those Dempsey left hooks gets in its good night Irene, or Moore for that matter.

 

Dempsey by KO, brutal power vs shaky chin

 

Moorer is the obvious favorite here.

Dempsey was a very basic, limited fighter. To put it another way, Dempsey couldn't box his way out of a paper bag.

Just look at how Dempsey fights Tunney. Bobbing and weaving, still getting hit, no jab, very low volume. When Dempsey lunges in, Tunney is waiting for him and ties him up with ease, Dempsey does nothing on the inside. It's as if Dempsey is just looking for one shot the entire time and he's very predictable with what he does. How is this supposed to get it done against any good boxer, especially one with power and a size advantage? It won't.

And don't say that Dempsey was old and rusty. It doesn't matter when they fought, Dempsey still would have fought the same way.

Dempsey has a small chance at a knockout but that's it. Moorer can win by decision or by knockout.
