    I'd say Pender puts up a decent fight, for around 5 round.
    Then ol Archie strikes for yet another Ko.

    Pender runs for his life. If it's up in New England he may steal it. Otherwise they boo him out of the arena and Moore catches him eventually. The crowd would have to shame Pender to engage. Especially with Moore's power.

    I don't see a winnable fight for Pender. Archie was just to good all-around and hit Like a truck.

    Paul Pender couldn't beat Archie Moore if he had a baseball bat and a tag team partner.

    A young Pastrano wasn't able to beat an old Archie even though Willie was running for his life. Pender wasn't as strong, clever or as fast a runner as Pastrano. No contest between Moore and Pender.
    Good point about decisions in Massachusetts. Historically, they were awful. Case in point: no way Pender defeated Robinson to win the title. Sugar Ray was jobbed.

    It would be a repeat of Archie vs bobo Olson. Is penders chin was as available as It was in the first Robinson fight he wouldn't make it out of the 4th.
