It'd be a BRUTAL war, but Fenech was a class above McGugian. The Fenech who dismantled Callejas would grind Barry down for a late stoppage.
I thought the world of Barry McGuigan, followed his fights, the title winning win over Eusebio Pedroza on June 8 1985, his title defense over Bernard Taylor, he broke Taylor's ribs. on Sept 28 1985, stopping him on round 8. Then his defense against Dalilo Cabrera on Feb 15 1986, he won by TKO 14. I was really surprised that he lost to Stevie Cruz. Jeff Fenech. a very strong durable fighter who had that bruising fight against Azumah Nelson would engage in another battle in this hypothetical match with Barry. After a brutal war in which both fighter have the tenacity, Fenech escapes this one by a split decision.
Man I think that hook to the body will turn it in Barry's favor. That hook was a thing of beauty. Barry comes from behind and wins tko9
