    Interesting.

    Lyle Carnera:

    This would pit Carneras boxing skill against Lyles power and counterpunching.

    Lyle would get outboxed but Carnera was not so hard to get with a right hand as Baer found out. I would expect Baer to visit the canvas a couple of times but lead on the cards.

    He would either get TKOd in the mid rounds or survive to win a UD or late TKO himself.

    Lyle Simon:

    Sombody wins by knockout in the mid rounds or earlier.

    My money is on Lyle but Simons durability gives him a chance at winning the war of atrition.

    My guess is that Lyle beats both guys. Carnera might give Lyle a good fight, though.

    Lyle-Carnera would be a wild exciting fight up to the later rounds if it goes that far, I could see Lyle wilting in later rounds and Carnera defeating Lyle by exhaustion TKO.

    Lyle-Simon I would give to Lyle by Decision with both fighters exhausted after 12.
