guido would be a different style and dimensions for jah to face, would be his best opponent i think despite the draw (i think guido would win anything past 6 rounds vs king), would like to see it next! but what does top rank want to do with guido? cuz its not a fight theyd ever make at the moment if they still have good hopes for him
he's still pretty young himself , and ridiculously handsome, and i imagine they'll keep trying to push him forward, so not fight jah

Of course many fights end in knockouts which are amazingly tough fights, but such fights aren't always expected to be that way in advance. Sometimes they just turn out that way.
If you predict a fight to end in a knockout you are surely thinking either it's a fight between two heavy hitters moreso if they aren't known for their durability, or alternatively that you are expecting a one-sided fight ... especially if you predict the winner.
Many times I've said "This fight won't go the full X rounds" but that usually means I'm not sure who is going to win. I'm not going to say Joe Bloggs by knockout if I'm expecting him to struggle to overcome his opponent, or I'm in doubt about the outcome.

i feel like i might have read oogs say at one point that it could be a lyle-foreman fight, so one where there is a ko and in the first half, but still a gruelling slog

That sounds like something I might've said. Never said it'd be easy either way, and like most didn't expect a jab fest by Joyce to do so much damage. Slim is double backing on his first comment on me.

That's a very strange thing to say. You said I'd made a dumb comment. I was explaining why I didn't think it was. Isn't that what we do?
