Can the Body Snatcher's skills and body assault overcome the toughest man ever to challenge King Carlos?
McCallum wins by a clear margin. Although, Valdez would probably hurt him a few times. But other than that, the Body Snatcher outboxes him.
If McCallum was to win, it would be by the narrowest of margins...Valdez would have given him hell all the way like he did Monzon...and I'm not convinced that McCallum would win.
I would pick McCallum, but the bodysnatcher would have to respect the power of Valdez...McCallum had the skills to stay on the outside a bit, and I think he would in this fight. McCallum decision, but Valdez has his moments and gets Mike's attention and respect.
If it was a war, I'd favour Valdez. In a more technical fight McCallum's chances increase imo. It really is a pick-em fight for me, between two excellent fighters a small notch below Monzon & Hagler, imo. Gun to my head? Primes...McCallum, just.
I'll bet the over on this one. Valdez, via close decision. I don't like Mike holding his right hand so low against this guy. Valdez is just to complete of a fighter to not exploit an opening like that. I also don't like those wide looping left hooks and right hooks Mike threw from way on the outside as leads against this guy. Real good fight with 2 real pro's and the thing with these type guys is they usually signed up for rematches.
