    If Knight is to win, he will need to come from behind.

    Honestly, with that kind of phrasing you're going to get George even more worked up.

    The first one is in the book, Paul Berlenbach outpoints Joe Knight. The result was 8-0 in his favour and people voted evenly for a win y stoppage and points - I see it as points though, that's because Joe Knight was never stopped, and had quite the career - there is a new addition to his boxrec record I think, a shady one round KO loss in Cuba aside, he's durable and proven.

    So I see him fighting an even fight with Berlenbach who wins 11-15 after scoring some hellish bodyshots in the eleventh. Knight keeps his feet though and sees it out for what ends up being a wide UD win.

    Good. Knight was too tough to be stopped, didn't get that pick.

    Agree, didn't see a stoppage myself. Berlanbach might have been able to turn the trick but I don't favour it.
