    exactly. Holmes scoring a 1 punch ko w/ a left uppercut is not happening.

    Some fans think boxing is like anime, where if your power is over 9000 you will surely beat somebody whose power is only 7000 :rolleyes:

    Very tough style matchup for Holmes at that point in his career. Damiani wouldn’t walk straight at him like Mercer, and also Holmes didn’t have the power at that point to expose Damiani’s lack of durability.

    Holmes may still be able to win it off of the jab, but it’d be a close fight.
