    I like Conteh, superb technician. He also has a beautiful left hand of his own.

    Conteh had all the skills and was only beaten at world level by hard hitting Saad Muhammad and Croatia strongman Mate Pavlov. Hill had neither of these attributes. Conteh on pts.

    Conteh by a 9-6 type decision, with Hill doing just enough to make the fight competitive.

    A very interesting, competitive fight. I'd also slightly favor Conteh, but Hill could very well take it.

    Hill. I think Conteh had more all around skill but could be inconsistent.
    Hill on the other hand never went away from his strengths which was the jab and movement .
    And Hill had a sneaky counter hook.
