    The best version of both men..for the lightheavyweight title...15 rounds.

    This is an excellent and competitive fight, but Galindez would beat Finnegan down over 15 rounds and win a decision. Finnegan could fight on even terms with Galindez for six or seven rounds, but inevitably Galindez's superior strength, counterpunching, and body work would take their toll. In the final rounds, Galindez would come on like a gangbuster to clinch the UD.

    Finnegan was a fine boxer, but he wasn't so good as to be able to hold off an aggressive block of muscle like Galindez. Galindez was used to fighting at a disadvantage in boxing skill, in the open ring, and would have known how to handle Finnegan over the stretch.

    Galindez would have been too strong for Finnegan..he would have hurt Chris with counters throughout the bout, but Chris's heart and aggresiveness would have kept him in the fight...10-5 for Galindez.
