Kid Gavilan vs Emile Griffith

I like this, like it a lot, a very on point breakdown of a contest between 2 fighters who both had rock solid chins, fitness to burn, and a insane workrate, would envisage the Keed starting fast and moving in and around Griffith, throwing fast combos to both head and body, building up an early lead, but not for long, Emile would use his strength from around the middle rounds, to take some control of the infighting, and while not having the same punch rate as Gavilan ( not many did ) his shots would carry more weight, and slowly subdue the earlier onslaught, I still see a bitterly contested final 5 rounds or so, but the earlier sting and rapidity of Gavilans punches would have abated somewhat by then.
One of the best matchups for the WW division, and for the crowd.
stay safe buddy.

 

Benediction. Cheers Mike.

 

Gavilan wasn't stopped in nearly 150 fights, so I can't see Griffith pulling it off. It would probably go the same way as the Griffith-Rodriguez fights, where the winner depends on whose style you prefer.
