Who wins this tossup of British bulldogs? I like Sibbo, however I think he is remembered mostly as another Hagler kill.....another victim of his time.....
I like Sibson in this one. Benn hit hard but was wild and hung his chin out. Sibson hit at least as hard but was far more controlled. When Sibson was on his game he was awesome, but he didn't have the best chin. I think both would hit the deck but Sibson would be the one standing at the end
At Middleweight it favours Sibson IMO; Benn was half the fighter at 160 that he became at 168, but he did have that dig, that could save him against all but the top level. If Sibson resisted the urge to go to war, he could pick Benn apart and stop him late. But if he was tempted to go toe to toe with Benn he would be asking for trouble and the odds would be slightly in Nigel's favour. Overall I suspect Sibbo is smart enough to fight the right fight and he would get his reward: Sibson TKO10
