    Would Mildenberger be slick enough to win?

    I think Karl outboxes him but gets caught with a right hand eventually after that it’s downhill and max probably stops him. If Karl can take some shots he could take a decision. Braddock is probably not that much better than Karl and Max couldn’t put Braddock down. If I had to bet the house I would go with Baer.

    I concur with @Steve Fero . Baer gets outboxed before landing a big punch

    Max had his head up his behind throughout that Braddock fight though. Clearly not the best version of him. I agree with the Baer pick though. I think it would take time for Baer to get the bomb in, and he'd probably be way behind on points, but I think he stops Mildenberger late.

    Mildenberger had the boxing skills to get the job done but I don’t have much confidence in his chin here.
