    Conteh would have some moments but it's hard to see him beating the Camden Buzzsaw

    IMO, pre-hand break Conteh lacked the discipline to keep Qawi @ bay for an entire fight, whereas post-hand break Conteh ... well, had a hand break.

    Either way, I favor Qawi.

    I think Dwight’s durability and relentlessness is what wins this

    Conteh hasn't got the power like Spinks had to keep Qawi honest I think Qawi stops him in the 11th round.

    Conteh was a beautiful boxer in his prime. Real text book but it's not enough to hold back the Buzzsaw over 15.

    If there's no way a sniper only armed with handgun murders an armadillo,then there's no way a Conteh stop the buzzsaw.

    Qawi on points, he takes away the jab and outworks Conteh, he doesn’t have the power to gain Qawi’s respect.

    I really don't know. I appreciate the comments, but I think Conteh was massively underestimated and could possibly have had Qawi's number. I love this fight because Qawi would have bullied his way in with non stop aggression but Conteh would have used slick boxing and ring generalship to tie him up. He certainly would'nt have walked in face first like Saad. I see it as a 51/49.
