    Who takes it?
    Don't think this one is going the distance. Folley has a shaky chin so many Valdes right hand would take him out.

    No I actually like watching Zora. But he doesn't have the best chin. So maybe a puncher like Valdes would have a chance with him.

    Here is a write-up on the Folley-Valdez fight. It's not much but it's something.

    Scartissue

    1956-09-25 : Zora Folley 195lbs beat Nino Valdes 209lbs by UD in round 10 of 10
    Location: Phoenix, Arizona, USA

    "Zora Folley, 195, of Chandler, Ariz., outlasted a sluggish Nino Valdez, 209, and won a unanimous decision over the Cuban heavyweight in a 10 rounder last night. In the 3rd and 4th rounds, Folley had Valdez against the ropes several times and scored with combinations to the head. Folley was unable to land any really solid punches, however, and there were no knockdowns." -Associated Press
