On their Nights Two Super Tough Middleweights who could Trouble the Best, Two fighters with Stone Chins but PaperMache Eyebrows, Vito actually got hold of the Middleweight Title curtesy of Sticking on Hugo Corro's chest like Glue and stifling his Skills Kevin Became Champion of Europe by going to Paris and dethroning french Idol and Home Favourite Jean Claude Boutier so Champion of Half the world at Least.. Both were cut up by Hagler and stopped in the Second Fights, But in the first fights Vito Grabbed a Draw and Kevin might of Joined the worm and Boogaloo with a win if not for being ruled out by severe cuts ( they were Even after 8 rounds but Kevin had won the last two rounds big and was closing Strong ! Something of a mystery how he found himself back in with Hagler so very soon for the Rematch before his Cuts would have properly Healed - Topping up the Guiness fund Perhaps ? ) Both knew Alan Mlnter well and felt they should of been credited with at least one win over him, Being Vito's Initial encounter and Title Points Loss, Minter Left no arguments second time round, Many felt Kevin deserved the nod in the 2nd of their three hard fought encounters, Vito Beat a host of Names Hilton, Briscoe, Cyclone Hart, As did Kevin, Sterling, Sibson, Tonna (2nd) Kevin would sometimes just go through the motions as a High Class Trailhorse Ala Weir and Kalule, But when Fired up he was a Top World Class Middleweight, No Flashy Style but Real Substance, Just Like Vito, Kevin was a Boxer who could handle Aggressors. Vito was an Aggressor who could Handle Boxers ... Two Fierce Competitors, The Guiness and Pizza have been put on hold until afterwards, Blood would almost certainly flow... The Irish Gladiator Finnegan or the Italian Warrior Antefermo
great battle and good match up. I might go with Antuofermo. Any guy who can fight Marvin to a draw has to be taken pretty seriously. Of course a cut stoppage by either guy is very possible.
I think Vito would be able to outwork the often-too laid back Finnegan more often than not.Kevin could have won at least two of the Minter fights if he had just worked a bit more.Though not being fast handed didn't help either. Very tough, competitive fight with both at best though.Neither would be bothered by anything the other man throws or by any physical traits as neither were above average in most of those areas other than stamina or durability, where both were beasts. This could well depend on when the cuts come in.Both were experienced in fighting through cuts of course, but a cut over the eye can and will hamper anyone's accuracy, which could be enough to give one fighter the edge over the other.
