Buddy McGirt- Carlos Palomino

[jj5000]

Could Buddy have outboxed King Carlos ?

[Rover]

Yes.

[Counter-puncher]

yup, McGirt by 116-112 type win

[Datsue]

yup, McGirt by 116-112 type win

This.

Over fifteen Palomino might--might!--have ground him down.

But my money'd still be on Mr McGirt. Over twelve, Buddy all day long.

Remember his left hook counter? Classy stuff. Properly old-school. He had, what, forty-fifty fights before he won a title, something like that? Proper old ring mechanic.

About 40, yep. Waited a long time.

Meldrick lit him up something fierce. Taylor, for a brief spell, was truly great. It's a shame he was robbed of his top achievement.

I think this is a very close fight, total toss up to me. Since so many are picking Buddy, I'll do my usual when I can't make up my mind and go against the grain, palomino by SD.
