    How's a fight between the Raging Bull and "Second To Nunn" play out?
    And 15 rounds?

    To be honest, I love LaMotta, but I think Nunn could take this.

    Jake had trouble with fast moving southpaw Bert Lytell, though he was a very aggressive fighter. Springs Toledo did a great piece on him.

    If Nunn fights aggressively like in his later fights, I do favour LaMotta though. 15 rounds steers it more in his favour for me.

    I think after 15 rounds, Jake LaMotta was also be called ‘Second to Nunn’.

    That's why I threw the 15 rounds in RD. Over 12 I've got Nunn clear decision but 15 puts a little more pressure on him imo. We know what Jake could bring to the table late on. Now the chances are Nunn STILL gets a points win.. But we may also see Lamotta pickin up the pace and the points, putting the heat on his man. We MAYBE even see a Toney type Come from behind ko win for the Bull.!

    But wheras James fought in spurts, Jake fought for the whole round. That's how he got Dauthille.

    Is it? I thought Jake didn't really do much then rallied hard at the end.
