    Best version of Thomas gets the decision win.

    Best of Pinklon likely edges it. Anything less than that and its trouble.

    Pinklon had such a fantastic jab, and that serpentine upper-body movement when he needed it.

    I'm not as all in on Thomas taking this fight,,,,he's the favorite for sure but I wouldn't bet a lot on him

    In reality, it could go either way and Lyle probably wins most of the time, he was more consistent.
    But at their absolute best, I favour Thomas to throw off Lyle’s timing and rhythm with a simple jab and neutralise him to win on points.

    I love the 70’s heavyweights but Thomas took too good a shot and jabbed too well and should get a UD. Any sort of decision whether close UD, MD or split. Can’t see this ending in ko and Ron could be outboxed. Thomas close UD.

    I like Pinklon Thomas to win a decision. Lyle often fell short against good boxers

    Thomas and it goes the distance. Would not be an earthshatteringly memorable fight.
