I think Thomas's better jab and him being a better puncher should get him a close decision win. Young will try and counter punch too much but Thomas will stick and move with his jab, and Thomas should win a close one.
Young. The top version obviously. Pinky is just so basic in there. I have no problems figuring out what he is about to do. What would a Jimmy Young see? How about a controversial verdict again? The DKP guy gets the decision win in a bout most felt he won about 4 rounds.
Young in an uneventful, but highly technical and close fight. I feel he has more tools. Better counter puncher, more punches in his toolbox and better combinations. He looked more natural when throwing other punches outside of the jab, Thomas didn’t get great extension on the backhand and the punches didn’t flow as well as Young when throwing combinations. Thomas had a better jab, but Young technically appears better in most other departments. Young also had more tricks and ways to make you fall onto counters etc.
