    Two guys who could bang but not really take a punch. Who do you think wins this. I've got Ingo by early knockout.

    What makes you think Ingo couldn't take a punch? No shame in getting knocked out by Patterson. Henry Cooper had one of the nastiest left hooks around and Ingo went through him. Machen and Erkistine couldn't hurt him either. Brian Loudon did drop him hard in the last round of their fight which was the last fight of Ingo's career. Patterson's left hook that starched Ingo in the 2nd would have dropped most people.

    Michael Bentt had a great amauter career but outside of beating Morrison he didn't really do anything. I don't see many similarities between him and Ingo since Ingo NEVER fought anyone with a losing record and grinded his way to the title against some badass fighters.

    Ingo smashes Bentt early.

    I think Morrison would have beaten him in a rematch

    I agree. Boxing never really was in Bentt's heart. There is a documentary from awhile back where he pretty much says as much. He was talented though.

    Short fight trilogy. It could go either way IMO

    Ingos bingo smashes Bentt to the floor in a wild three rounder.

    I gotta go with Ingo just based on him beating Patterson along. But that doesn't mean Bentt couldn't catch him.

    The fight commentator would have said to the television viewers, The Ingo Bingo Has Landed, Ingo by KO 5 over Michael Bentt.
