    Interesting bout.

    I like a Scott decision here. Obviously the bout takes place in his backyard and that busy style of James wins the rounds. That Scott ability to fight in 4th gear is the big difference. I always thought of Torres as a guy that loves his second gear and on occasion it goes to his third gear. But Scott is not playing the feint game on the outside and pose. The Scott connect % won't be too high but it isn't as if Torres is landing much himself

    I do too. Scott would stay on top of Chequi and give him no air. Torres' body shots would not hurt James. I see James winning in 15 with Jose barely hanging on.

    Fighting Scott in prison was probably intimidating for most guys I would think.

    Probably no coincidence that the two guys who weren't intimidated were Qawi (who was used to prison), and Jerry Martin (who didn't give a damn).

    Torres was more talented though, and I think he gets underrated.

    If Torres that stopped Pastrano shows up to the prison, I think he beats up Scott.

    Torres was faster, more powerful, and more skilled.

    I disagree. Scott more powerful stronger taller harder hitting relentlees and Cheqi has nothing to sissuade him. Scott easily.

    Scott was hardly a bigger hitter than Torres. That category is a clear edge to Torres.
