    Lyle knocks Langford into the upside down. Its a mismatch of size power and skill

    I've always felt Lyle was extremely overrated but come on.

    A case where the better fighter loses to the much naturally bigger one. Ron stops Sam

    Ron had the size, but he didn't have the style necessary to defeat Langford. Langford by late KO or decision.

    If Lyle goes into the fight the way he came at Foreman , poor Sammy will be carried out on a stretcher at best.
