    Both at their best. I’m not sure who takes this one. I think it would be a very tactical fight and one that could go the distance on close cards. What do you think ?

    I lean towards Quarry, I think he had the better set of whiskers.

    Good shout. It’s one of those fights that seems to suggest a close decision outcome - so not an easy pick.

    I might err on the side of Zora, at his absolute best.

    I could see this going any number of ways but I think it would probably be a boring chess match. Quarry was better as a counter puncher and Folley was probably the least aggressive HW Ive ever seen. Timid might be harsh but he was so laid back he almost looked sleepy in the ring. If anyone is getting knocked out its Folley but my guess is its a boring close decision to Quarry based on a higher work rate and better inside fighting.

    I don't like Quarry whenever he has to step up against a top notch boxer. He could decision Folley, but then again.

    Great prime for prime bout, I think Jerry hit harder early on. Quarry in 10 or 12.

    You'd have to favor Quarry, but this would be a close matchup since their stats, accomplishments, and physical dimensions were similar. I see Quarry narrowly winning due to being busier and landing the more telling shots more often.

    Folley on points, terrible styles matchup for Quarry, people may think Folley wouldn’t be active enough, but that’s when Quarry freezes, and doesn’t know how to lead or set up attacks, when he has a good boxer infront of him, he freezes himself, he can’t box with someone, he can box when someone abandons their own boxing and looks to take him out.
