    Alright, let's have it. The O'Grady who beat Kenty vs the pre-Kim Mancini..

    Who wins?

    Hoping some more chime in. I think it is close for 4-6, before Mancini’s attack wears Sean down and slows him a little in the 2nd half. I see Mancini landing the heavier blows and taking control 6-10 where he stops Sean in 10 or 11.

    Mancini is too good in this one - comfortably.

    We know more about Mancini, and so I feel more comfortable picking him.

    O Grady thumps the post Arguello body builder by KO. PreArguello Boom stages a great effort but still is overwhelm ed by The Green Machine

    It is hard to forget how O'Grady crumbled towards to end of his career but before the long years in the sport caught up with Sean but prior to beating Kenty and in that fight he was a top quality fighter with the up the middle punching style that was difficult for a Mancini to defend similar to how Bramble wore him out......Mancini had a thick wide body and short muscular arms that made it impossible to defend his body from a body puncher and chin from uppercuts and over the top punches.....I see this fight being a 15rd bloodbath with O'Grady's excellent body work giving him the edge....until late past 12-13th rd and then it is a pick-em fight with O'Grady not having the turtle up style of Bramble or an Arguello but tall solid lightweights were the scourge of Mancini's style
