Under 185lb Tournament, Round 1: # 5 Sam Langford vs # 28 John Conteh

Langford by decapitation.

 

John Conteh was a fine fighter.

Langford for me I suppose.

 

Conteh's left hand bothers Langford for a bit but he should find a way around it.

 

Highly disrespectful analysis.

Conteh on points, for the fact that he's a far more skilled fighter than Joe Jeanette on film. Langford will decimate him if he gets much going, if it's the post-Parlov Conteh than Sam wins by K.O in the pre-fight staredown, but a perfetly fit and healthy Conteh takes it on his jab, a two-handed version of the man that outboxed Lopez, and comes through some Hellish moments.

I don't think he would win, but I'm going for him just because no one else will. I actually think Langford would smoke him.

 

Conteh was a very fine LHVY , but he is out gunned here, late stoppage for Sam.
