Modern gloves,and rules who takes this? * Sharkey has a years training to acclimatise himself to not fouling as a matter of course.
If its modern rules, then Sharkey is at a huge disadvantage, no matter any training for rule breaking. Sharkey trained for 20-25 rounds (though he was capable of starting fast, as shown by his 11 first round KOs) and losing certain tactics would ruin his style Bonavena UD over 12 rounds. I think Sharkey might get dropped at somepoint early-mid rounds
Its definitely ugly and sloppy. Sharkey about as tough as they come but he makes Bonavena look like a technician. Bonavena wins a decision in a tough fight.
Very hard fight ,with two tough guys. I see Sharkey and Oscar at their brawling best with the ref having second thoughts of jumping in to separate em ! But after a relentless slugging fight and a kd for each I see a split win for Ringo .
