    Douglas probably wins 10 rounds to 5. Young was slick and might lose a few close rounds if Douglas can up the tempo. Yeah, UD for Douglas in my opinion.

    Douglas wins a decision, outworking Young, and landing the more eye-catching combinations.

    Douglas in a close one. I think he'd be busier.
