    I think Pep's style combined with his physical advantages would give Driscoll a lot to overcome.

    Driscoll close decision, primarily due to his magnificent jab.

    Driscoll was one of the best ever orthodox fighters whereas Pep was probably the best ever unorthodox fighter.

    Driscoll's sharp shooters down the middle, Peps hard-to-track footwork - both guys would give the other problems.

    Both had a good work rate - Pep let his go in combination more, but Driscoll had the stiffer single blows.

    Real even fight I reckon.

    Certainly a fight that shows that some boxing can be entertaining.
