    Yes Walcott could be on and off, but if we’re taking the absolute best of both.
    Who wins this matchup?

    Walcott huge points victory. Young is too defensive and ineffective against Walcott. Probably gets outjabbed between the repeated clinches these two would get into. I am drawing inspiration from Walcott going 2-1 against Maxim for this one.

    If Walcott is firing on all cylinders, then he wins a decision.

    Tough, tough fight for both men. I think in most cases, I'll take Walcott, but Young actually had pretty good offensive skills when he needed to.

    Walcott isn't a dummy he wouldn't fall for anything Young tried, he'd just fight and not overthink it. Young knew how to survive so Walcott would steal the UD.
