this would be pure fun. both liked to rumble and neither would have to look for the other. ogrady had the better punch IMO, but holiday had the higher workrate. so, who wins???
philip holiday was a machine, he wasent fast, couldent punch hard and dident have use very text book boxing skills his punches always looped and was very flat footed but he would throw litterally hundreds of punches per round he was a like a light weight glenn johnson, he would absolutely mug you into the ropes and beat you like a drum. i think o' grady would take the first few rounds but i dont think he could stay far away from holiday to take the decision. nelson madela said that holiday is like him and like freedom "he will not be denied".
Wow this would be a helluva matchup! I think both at thier bests O'Grady edges it out, but its close to being a pick em.
both quality fighters an ogrady accoplishments were before the age of 25 pretty remarkable considring he had about 80 fights holliday solid champ excellent fantasy match up probably simlar to gatti vs ward all action my pick ogrady ud
O'Grady was the better fighter between these 2, but Holiday would make it tough at times with his higher workrate. O'Grady 9-6 decision.
