    This is going to be a brawl and for me a gruelling distance fight I'd take Harding to take a decision victory

    I think Harding had the better work-rate and the stronger will

    I would have paid good money to see this fight and think it would be worth every penny. Both of these guys were action fighters and crowd pleasers. Both could absorb a lot of punishment and dish it out in spades. I have to lean towards Czyz to win. Jeff was tough, but Bobby was a better boxer.

    I heard Jeff was on hard times a while back. How is he doing these days?

    Also, Bobby had more than his share of issues mostly manifested in drinking. Haven't heard anything from him since his days as an excellent commentator.

    I will say Bobby comes out winning the early rounds due to his higher skill level and Jeff's unimaginative attack. Still, Harding was tough as nails and Bobby could break down physically. Jeff wins a close decision by coming on in the later rounds, putting Czyz on the canvas in the process.

    Harding. I think he was mentally tougher than Czyz, and with far superior stamina, and would outlast Czyz in a war.
