Young would score a near shot out decision.

[Onetimeonly]

Young would score a near shot out decision.

Not against the Leon that first fought Ali. I agree young would win but that was a crazy pace. Good match up I never considered.

[JohnReed]

Horrible fight. But Young was in a higher class of talent than Leon, easily. So Jimmy wins this one on points. There would have been a lot of wrestling, clinching, and unclean punches here. But Young's superior talent enables him to tie up Leon, and counter with enough slaps and pops to win on the scorecards.
