    I've got Tucker on points in this one. Thoughts?

    Tucker, but the decision is closer than some will think

    Tucker was far better v Tyson.

    Tucker, he wouldn't hurt Berbick but he'd win most of the rounds.

    That was because Tucker s style of fighting Tyson helped him go to the end, Berbick tried going macho and got nailed for it.

    I get the feeling like Berbick would outwork him even though Tucker is supposed to win.

    Tucker UD. Berbick is strong, but doesn't really have the ring IQ to overcome Tucker's advantages in height, reach, speed, and skill.

    Berbick overcame those advantages before.

    Don't see that happening tbh. Tucker to mobile for Berbick. Trevor was strong and had those big shoulders and he'd try to rough up Tucker but I don't see him having great success.

    Tucker on wide points decision.Trev was just a big strong bloke who was tough and a nutcase.Tucker would take a low risk route to a win

    Berbick by decision if he’s in good form

    Duran was better than Hearns against Hagler and Barkley too, well Hagler sort of.

    Toss a coin. You take the determined aggressive Berbick that fought Page and he'd be right on Tucker.

    I like Berbick to outwork him. Distance bout all the way and this guy won't cooperate with the snail's pace Tucker likes.
