Young wins on points in an uneventful fight that's hard to score.

Young's the slicker, more elusive boxer, easily. You'd expect that he'd jab, tap, and cuff Pinkie just enough to steal the rounds. But Thomas had a superb left-jab, and would certainly use it to keep Young at bay. So, basically, these guys neutralize each other.

Overall, Young's punchstats would be slightly better. The decision would be close, and possibly the scorecards are wildly diverging. Could be a controversial verdict.

Pinkie's KO power - one of his biggest assets - counts for little against Young, who could dodge almost anyone's shots.

Young would have his moments outboxing Pinky in the early rounds, but Pinky would use more left jabs and right hands to finally figure out in the later rounds to take a decision.
