I was bored in class today so I thought these matches and there outcomes up...
The first fight would be Wayne McCullough v Jason Litzau - If you think about this would be a pretty awesome fight. Litzau has KO power but a questionable chin, McCullough doesnt have big power but has a arguably one the best chins in boxing history. Both will come forward and brawl but I would have to say McCullough W SD 12
John Duddy v Tony DeMarco - This is an intresting fight too. But right now Duddy is only thee most exciting prospect out there today to many questions on what he will but has a great chance to be great. We all know about DeMarco - DeMarco W UD 12
Ray Mancini v Barry McGuigan - Another spectacular fight, I think in the early rounds it would be very close, but in the last few Mancini's power would take over - Mancini W UD 12
Micky Ward v Carmen Basilio - WOW how great would this fight be?!? Ok I already hear the groans from u guys "Ward is a club fighter...etc" But we all know Micky could hang with anybody and that is exactly what this fight would be a very blood brawl, w/ broken noses and wrists, maybe even a couple KD for both fighters and a 12 rd UD for Basilio.
Jerry Quarry v Joey Maxim - This is a pretty intresting fight, I think Maxim could outbox Quarry for about the first half of the fight, but eventually the bigger Quarry would get inside and inflict major damage - Quarry W KO 6
Steve Collins v Jake LaMotta - crazy, this would be an all out war, eventually I think Lamotta would be too much for the Celtic Warrior - LaMotta W SD 12
Mickey Walker v Rocky Graziano - This would probably be the greatest brawl of them all, I think it would come down to Walker being the bigger man, but I think Graziano could put him down a few times, this is a pick em really - Walker by TKO 11
Billy Conn v Joe Mesi - alright alright Im hearin the groans again but Id rather put Mesi on here than Primo Canera. I think Mesi could make it intresting for the first half of the fight, then Conn just picks him apart eventually - Conn W TKO 9
Gene Tunney v Rocky Marciano - The main event, a classic match up of boxer v brawler. Usually one would pick the boxer but not in this case. Brawlers usually gave Tunney trouble (I.E Walker and Dempsey) There will be no infamous long count here, though no KO either Maricano puts Tunney down a couple times to secure a UD in 12.
Looks like Team Italia beats Team Irish 5-4
What do you all think??
If you want a super dreadnaught fight between two talentless hacks you could go Primo Carnera v. Kevin McBride. I doubt either man would be capable of landing a decent shot or even moving with the least bit of competence or grace.
What about the Sam Storey that fought Collins against the Sumbu Kalambay that fought Collins. I know there's argument that Storey was robbed against Collins in Collins' hometown of Boston, and there's argument that Collins was robbed against Kalambay in Kalambay's backyard of Italy.
I didnt really forget him i just couldnt come up with another Irish opponet at the moment. I was lookin add Gatti, nino, Malignaggi, maybe Primo Canerea. Also Braddock and Sullivan for the Irish, those are the ones I came up w/ so far, if u have other w/ diff fighter that wernt posted, put it up.
if you even considered primo carnera in this line-up, i would jump into my computer screen, thru cyberspace, jump thru ur computer screen and slap you right in the face.
mcguigan vs mancini: mcguigan's chin, heart, and power would be too much for the couragous but limited mancini. mcguigan by mid round TKO.
ward vs basilio: a brutal, exciting, bloodbath! its wards power and simple but effective defense vs basilio's in-fighting and stamina. both have insanely durable chins, KO power, monumental hearts, and both love a good scrap. my heart says ward but my brain says basilio by SD.
quarry vs maxim: quarry doesnt have the power to KO maxim and doesnt have the skill to catch maxim. maxim by one-sided UD.
conn vs mesi: conn, a very weak puncher, would disect the weak-chinned but strong hearted mesi. conn by one-sided UD.
duddy vs demarco: i dont know much about either fighter but i do know duddy is inexperienced. demarco by SD.
collins vs lamotta: lamotta would win the championship rounds on sheer heart. lamotta by UD.
litzau vs mccullough: if litzau has a good jab and good skills, mccullough wont do much. litzau by SD.
walker vs graziano: walker didnt carry the pop to KO graziano (who had an average chin, but with so much heart, you couldnt tell). graziano by mid round KO.
tunney vs marciano: tunney had an average chin, but made up for it with solid defense. but tunney needs more power and "whip" on his punches to even mark marciano, a known bleeder. marciano traps tunney on the ropes and decimates him. Marciano by late round TKO.
Team Italia wins 7-2.
