I think Dwight's pressure may outpoint Joey in this one...not sure Maxim has the pop in his shots to keep Qawi honest the way Mike Spinks did...
I see Joey maximising an early points lead before being grinded down by the 'Buzzsaw' Qawi by late rounds tko.
XPERT-post, i would agree with this prediction m8. :thumbsup teh Camden Buzzsaw Qawi was an underrated lil beast, like a minature Frazier, with a mint jab And crisp countering skills to boot.:smoke
Pursuant to that old Maxim - Styles make fights, - Dwight really hated good movers, hit-an-flit merchants, Johnny Davis first hinted at this, Later Mike spinks with Threat and Movement left Dwight half-a-step behind, Stand and trade with Dwight and he could fillet you, use the ring and stay resolute and you could be the style beneficiary and come out on top, it takes a good man to do it, and Joey wasnt bad, sooo providing Joey does not Lumber himself with toio much aggression...(because we know what a Buzzsaw does with Lumber dont we...)
Bob Satterfield couldn't knock out Maxim. Lloyd Marshall couldn't knock out Maxim Jimmy Bivins couldn't KO Maxim in 20 rounds Jersey Joe Walcott couldn't KO Maxim in 30 rounds Archie Moore couldn't KO Maxim in 45 rounds Ezzard Charles couldn't KO Maxim in 62 rounds Dwight Muhammad Qawi is not knocking out Joey Maxim
I like Maxim to outpoint Dwight Q. B. over 15 in a tough contested battle with Joey M. taking it by 9-6 10-5 and 8-6 in a UD
Very tough call. Maxim is the better boxer but Qawi was a wonderful boxer himself. The Qawi who beat Leon Spinks was a murderer with great power, and he gets my vote here, but that was at cruiser. At 175, I like the tough Maxim to take a decision in which Qawi is competitive and dangerous for 10 rounds, but becomes frustrated for the next 5 rounds.
Maxim carried more boxing knowledge in his pinky than Qawi ever could hope to know. To say that Qawi would beat him is difficult to support. To say that Qawi would knock him out is absurd (as the info in my earlier post clearly demonstrates). Maxim UD Qawi.
