    15 rds. Two great technitions. Going with Gene based on volume and footwork.
    He just outhustles Jimmy in my book.

    I felt Young Beat Ali and could of received the decision over Norton. That's quite an impressive resume however Ali was pudgy for that bout.
    Tunney always came in supreme condition. I lean towards him by UD but a good competitive match. However if Tunney brings his Dempsey strategy with the way Young fought i the crowd would be asleep by round 3

    Gene was just the better fighter. Higher ring IQ.
