    No, but there's the danger that something might actually happen, and Young would never allow for such a possibility.

    Ingo's best bet is to out-work Young in the jab department, but I'm not sure Ingo's jab was accurate enough or hard enough to win over the judges. Personally, I would probably score the fight 0-0-15 if it was an option or disqualify both men if I was a ref. I'm getting mad about this fight and it hasn't even happened! :twisted:

    I would say Ingo was an average boxer. He really did not have a good jab or left hook. He was mostly a right hand banger, not a relentless swarmer as say Joe Frazier was. Frazier ate up and spit of smallish boxer types.

    The question here is will Young give away many rounds? Young to me is a limited puncher's worst nightmare, because he was not only a good boxer, but had great defensive head movements.

    Either way, I think this is one of the better matchups in round one.

    The winner is written in bigger font. I found Wills-Douglas was the hardest for me to pick. Douglas was great against Tyson and would give Wills all he could handle and more, but due to Wills longevity and being much, much more proven at the top level than Douglas, I had to choose him. Probably by a close decision.

    "I would say Ingo was an average boxer. He really did not have a good jab or left hook."

    There is film of Ingo against Hein Ten Hoff and Uber Bacilieri which can be accessed via his biography section at Boxrec. I think you mentioned you have seen the Ten Hoff knockout. The Bacilieri fight does give a chance to study his boxing skills.

    Ingo definitely did not have much of a left. He pawed with his jab. I did not see him even use a left hook against Bacilieri in eight rounds.

    However, Ingo shows quick feet and very good defensive skills. If you look at a photo of Ingo in his later years, there would be no indication he ever was a boxer. He was unmarked. He simply did not get hit that often except by Patterson and even Floyd had trouble hitting Ingo clean, which Floyd commented upon in interviews I have read. He did catch up with Ingo in their second and third fights, showing Ingo had a weak jaw, but I had Ingo ahead at the time of the ko in their third fight. I didn't see Bacilieri land even one good punch in this fight.

    You point out how Vitali has won most of his rounds. I would bet that Ingo had a pretty good ratio of rounds won himself, and he never lost a fight on points.
