15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout
"The Cinderella Man" would out-box the aggressive "Cleveland Rubber Man" behind his long jabs, right hands and combinations to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Braddock can seem superior because of his legacy, but in reality these two are quite evenly matched. Most likely it would split in a series of fights.

It would be probably a lot like the Braddock/Lasky fight, with the Cinderella Man coming out on top in a decision.

Could have gone either way. both had their moments, but were inconsistent. Always thought Risko was interesting. He fought so often and was willing to take on anyone. He lost so many fights that you would expect him to win, but won so many that you wouldn't expect him to.
