The judges have it unanimously 121-107, Jimmy Young.
I also had it 121-107 myself.

 

You're right. And you're welcome brother.

I think Larry had a pretty good defense, he was almost always ready to jump or step out of the was very fundementally sound IMO. I've did always get caught with right hands though? infact every single knockdown in his career was from right hands. ( except the fluke against butterbean)

 

10-8 Round

 

i'm not overrating anything tbh. I will try to upload rounds 10-12 but don't be suprised if it gets removed and my account gets shut down because it's my third strike for uploading fights like this.

Young's looked beautiful in this fight IMO. clean combinations, great defense, and very exceptional power for stunning a guy like Lyle. To me, this ranks up with his preformances against Norton and foreman.... it prices how good a fighter he really was.
