    The Clutch vs Sweet Pea at lightweight for 12

    Whos your pick, the defensive master or the spoiling Angott

    This is a hard one as I have seen little of Angott and seen enough of Whittaker to know that to beat him a fighter has to be real good, I know Angott was very good and from that era he must be tough but I will go for Sweet Pea in this one on points as I think he would have the edge in speed.

    I don't think it would be quite as easy for Whitaker as you might expect.

    I also think it would be a wide decision for Whitaker, but the rounds would be somewhat close with Pernell establishing the much cleaner work...Whitaker could spoil enough and get ugly himself, not to be taken advantage of...and it's his speed and defense that wins this going away. IMO.
