Emile Griffith vs. Mustafa Hamsho

[scorpio83]

15 Rounds Middleweight Bout

Griffith would overcome the southpaw style of Hamsho by outboxing him behind his quick jabs and combinations on the outside through the early rounds, then he would outwork him on the body in the later rounds to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

I haven't watched enough of Griffith's prime fights (when he was younger, at his peak) to know that much about him. But based on what I've read, he was something special. For that reason, I'm assuming he'd beat Hamsho.

I'm certain this fight would go the distance. It might be hard fought, and very closely scored. But I'll bet Griffith takes the nod.

The great Emile Griffith by decision.
