    Burley wins the whole tournament.

    Kidding, i think Bobo can do well here personally. Olson was strong and aggressive, beat a very good head to head middle with a great jab in Turpin, but i think he comes up just short here due to Burley's great shifting movements and sudden hard counters. But Olson gets his own points on his own work.

    Burley.

    Archie Moore escalated the decline of Bobo Olson. Against Burley, Olson would have his moments pressuring the stylist. Olson has some good wins against heavier opposition, and prior to facing Moore and then back to back with Robinson, was an excellent pressure fighter with very fast hands. During his title reign, it appeared he met Gavilan handspeed for handspeed.
    However, I like Burley. I think he will time Olson coming in and take a UD.

    He is actually the dark horse and I see him upsetting the favorite in an epic to be crowned the king:D

    Burley would be to awkward for Olson, upsetting his rhythm and landing leaping left hooks to the body and up top

    Burley UD.

    (The first part isn't set in stone quite yet:D)

    Burley, better skills, better defense, better puncher. Just not sure if a UD or stoppage
