Would the 7 inch reach advantage along with the outboxing style of Curtis be enough for him to secure the win against Manos de Piedras? Or, on the flip side, is Roberto Duran simply too skilled and too good for the Dallasite champion?
Curtis Cokes was a damn good fighter. Beating the great Luis Rodriguez twice and being the 1st man to stop him is no joke. I just don´t think he has the style to beat Duran. Luis Rodriguez or Emile Griffith (Rodriguez´s nemesis) would fair better against "Manos de Piedra": The Roberto that dominated Palomino and then beat Leonard was very difficult to beat. Duran would probably do a Napoles job on Cokes, battering him till his corner stops it or gets blasted in 13/14th round. This content is protected
