I would favor Zale as well.
Even though Ketchel probably had more one punch power.
Zale seems like the more skilled boxer.
He was durable/resiliant enough and well conditioned enough as well.
Ketchel could score an early knockdown but Zale would likely prevail and wind up
Winning a fairly decisive decision or maybe get a Tko in the last round.
It'd definitely be overall for the most part, A Barn Burner of a Brawling Boxing Battle.

Either Zale outwork Ketchel with better combinations to take a decision or late round stoppage or vice versa for Ketchel to land bombs to put Zale out in the late rounds under the 15 rounds rule.
