    Good man Burt.Sharkey could certainly pull off a decision win , like Maxim ,and Ray, but consistancy was never part of his make up.

    The losses to maxim and ray seem suspect from where i'm standing.

    Walcott should beat Firpo and Sharkey without too many problems.

    I would slightly favor Tunney to take the UD.

    This for me.
    The Walcott fight with Sharkey could turn out quite close as well.
    One of those hard to predict decisions bouts perhaps.

    Tunney is the only one I’d be confident to bet on. Sharkey could win but he’s so inconsistent (so was Walcott tbh) and Firpo would get schooled.
