    15 rounds for the middleweight title, at Madison Square Garden.
    The Argentinian with the wrecking ball left hook vs. the tenacious 'Toy Bulldog'.
    Walker is unquestionably one of the toughest P4P fighters in the history of the sport. What he demonstrated against the likes of Sharkey and Schmeling, perhaps no other middleweight that has ever lived, could have come forward in an aggressive style,the way that Walker did...(Greb?)
    But the fight here is at middle, not above, where Walker made his fame.
    Both fighters are bangers who fight on the balls of their feet and can close distance quickly. Walker can box at times, like he did against the charging Ace Hudkins, in a title defense.
    Lausse can use wide and compact punches under and over with his powerful left hook.(with a decent short right hand as well) The jab and the shorter hooks of Lausse, (it looks that way on film, re punch delivery) Could enable him to beat Walker to the punch in the hard hitting exchanges....possible upset?
    Who and why?

    Walker would grind him down around 6th or 7th he ends it with a KO.

    Any more opinions on this one? I think it would be a fantastic fight.

    Walker is most impressive on film. He is too much for Lausse, a solid contender but hardly an all time great.
