    Are you trying to send people to sleep? They'd attept do outdo eachother in terms of least meaningful punches per each round. :tong

    Hey, boring as Tucker could be he had a very high knockout percentage. So if you could stay awake you usually got a KO. :D

    Dinner is busy today but asked me to relay his opinion. He likes Tony to bury Primo with speed, power and sheer workrate. He see's Tucker, up on his toes, evading Primo's primitive rushes with consumate ease via short sharp footwork and head movement then bombarding him with heavy well placed counters. He says Tony's own notable size offset's Carnera's slightly, and Tony's fantastic chin (that took the bombs of both Tyson and Lewis, not to mention Buster) will save him any awkward moments.

    :D
