    I'm here son.

    Okay, well Galindez is maybe my favourite light-heavy ever. But i've been thinking about this today and i think Conn might just be better. Galindez is such an interesting fighter for me. In counterpunching mode, he'll wait, wait, wait, then strike with short shots inside. In aggressive mode he feints and is very strong. Fighting off the ropes is a specialty of his, he would always smash guys with looping right hands there.

    But i'm just thinking most of these traits might get negated with the high-workrate boxing style of Conn. Yourself?

    thats exactly what I'm thinking, Conn's got movement, workrate and durability all going for him, very active fighter.

    Galindez is going to have to pressire him in my mind, other wise he could just be out speed and be forced to go in a defensive shell on the out side.

    because of Conn's flurrys

    ok, well Foster got great reach and bone crunching power, Tunney's got the movement great recover, but can be hurt, and Foster a good finisher, so Tunney's got to use his speed and and keep it at range, but there's danger there to becuse if you fight at long range with Foster ,that gives him full extension of his right hand, so it a dangerous fight for Tunney, I think he needs to mix it up, get his punches off and then get out.

    what you think ?

    It's really difficult. Foster is one of the most effective. Tunney is proven, and he's rugged as well though. Tunney should box circular on the outside though here. The power is bone-crunching from Foster. Foster pressed the action a lot and basically i think he'd need to pummel his man, Foster could box but Tunney was better at controlling range and dropping multiple shots from the outside.

    I think Tunney has a good chance, i'm only there up to now, it takes time.

    I think Tunney outboxes Foster. Tunney had a very good chin and would be able to take Foster´s power when he had too. I think Tunney´s superior footspeed and footwork would be his biggest advantages. He would use it to get inside Foster´s jab and score with shots to the head and body. Foster had a very good jab but Tunney beat Loughran who had an even better one. I see Tunney boxing conservative and cautious in the early round and would start to take over in the middle rounds, breaking Foster down and stopping him between 11 and 13.

    Well i'm edging towards Tunney myself, but i don't see the stoppage personally. Tunney had pop in his right and could finish, but Foster lets you know he's there if the fight gets intense, well he certainly did at 175 for sure. You're right on Tunney handling the greater boxer in Loughran, and i really think Foster would need to press to get home here, and Tunney is so effective in such situations.

    I'm favouring Tunney now, i'd like some others to chip in if they could.
