    Pastrano for me. He's not engaging Conteh and thus Conteh's skills don't get a huge chance to take their toll. Not by a huge margin though, close fight in fact.

    Pastrano, in shape (of course) and motivated, wins a decision 8-7 over Conteh.

    I think I underrate Willie a bit..because he had some horrible losses against countless amounts of gooftroopers. But the man did have ATG footwork/mobility/ combined with being an outstanding technician when I watch him on film. I do not know how he lost to those gooftroopers but he did.

    I'll go for Conteh,by a split decision. I see him winning the fifteenth,which is what it would probably come down to.

    A split decision either way.

    I lean towards Conteh in a beautiful battle of jabs with Conteh's power deciding slightly in his favor over 15.

    Conteh would take the fight to Pastrano in a more viscious manner than the often-too-polite Johnson did if he found out his boxing wasn't going to work (though I'm not at all convinced of that). His aggression/versatility should see him edge a comfortable decision over the later rounds in my view.
