    Under early 1900 s rule's
    15rounds , no quick breaks ,heavy clinching.
    How competitive is Leon Spinks against the legend Jack Johnson?
    Is it closer than it looks or totally unfair on Spinks?

    How long does this fight last?, depends on how long Johnson wants to play with Leon

    15 rounds.
    I think Leon will try and get him early, which jack will probably love anyway.
    I don't think Leon s seeing 15 .

    Leon is better than many of Jack’s foes were, and he wouldn’t be at a size disadvantage, either.
