    Great Matchup.


    Tough to call, but I think if Layne can get past round 6 he will beat Tommy.

    I'm going with Tommy. Layne had a leaky defense and not a lot of movement. His style plays into Tommy's few strengths. I could see him stunning Tommy with a counter and finishing him but I am going shade towards winning this one.

    I see most lines of evidence pointing to Layne here.

    They were both awful.
    I believe Layne was more durable IN HIS PRIME, but I'm not sure where I get that belief from.
    Morrison was a harder hitter I suspect but never actually knocked out a 'live body', and have a glass jaw.

    Let's hope for a double KO.

    I watched Morrison against Hipp and Lewis last night entertaining fights.Certainly more entertaining than those involving our current heavyweight champion.

    .... and that's a shame, because Lewis-Morrison was really a pointless mismatch.

    I suppose the selling point was___ punchers chance.

    Well, Lewis was coming off wins over a woefully untrained Lionel Butler, and someone called Just!n Fortune, so standards were low.

    Your objectivity is well noted in these matters.
