    Tate & Lyle. What a SWEET bout this could be.

    The Lyle who gave George Foreman that titanic struggle back in '76 against the Big John Tate who lost to Mike Weaver in 1980.

    I see a similar scenario to the Weaver bout,but with a quicker ending. Big John builds up a sizeable points advantage,but Ron stops him before the tenth.

    I think Big John beats Ron Lyle on an upset UD, keeping his distance from Ron, and laying on the leather late.
