    Who's the winner in this one ? Over twelve and fifteen.


    I plump for Ken. He'd overhaul Michael's early lead to win by a sizeable points margin.

    I think Norton takes this one at either 12 or 15.

    In a 15 round fight prime for prime, I am going with Dokes on points.
    I see Mike building up an early lead, and hanging on in the end, in a close fight..

    I think Mike would do ok, but Kenny would be hitting him often and hard. Eventually, KO for Kenny, if not, Ken by U.D.

    Michael could possibly stun Ken early on, and Ken would have problems dealing with his speed.But Dokes' stamina would hurt him, and despite his toughness, Norton would win a hardfought 15 rounder by unanimous decision.
