    Who wins this fascinating match up between 2 classy technicians? Both were great counter punchers with power. Can Conteh's jab and left hand help him against Toney's defense?

    At his best, I think Conteh's jab would be too accurate and high rate, compared to Toney who always slacked for a minute + a round. He would also be able to use his movement well here. Very fun fight. Decision for Conteh.

    Conteh.

    Toney at 175 would lose to all the golden era light heavys - Galindez, Conteh, Saad, Qawi, Spinks, EMM, all of them.
