Heavyweights: Mike Weaver vs. Francesco Damiani

[scorpio83]

15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Damiani would have his moments out-boxing and out-punching Weaver on the outside from the early to the middle rounds. Then Weaver would pull a comeback like against Tate, Coetzee and Tillis in their hometowns respectively by wearing Damiani down behind his jabs and body punches before knocking Damiani out in the late rounds in front of his home country fans in Italy. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Weaver stops him late.

Damiani would outbox Weaver handily. Mike would be able to rely mostly on a puncher's chance here.

Damiani would outbox Weaver handily. Mike would be able to rely mostly on a puncher's chance here.

I think it would be a close fight Damiani out boxing Weaver but Weaver throwing the
more powerful shots. I do think Damiani would win a close decision.
Weaver was the 80's Chisora tough but not the upper elite. He was very lucky to win the WBA title. But like Chisora usually gave a good performance that kept getting him opportunities.

good matchup, tbh can see it going either way as described, weaver late or damiani decision. probably lean damiani

[giacomino]

Damiani UD, something like 10-5. Weaver could knock out anyone but more than likely would have gotten slapped around by Damiani
