10 to 15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Either Young's speedy jabs, elusiveness and counterpunching to take a decision or vice versa for Quick Tillis to take a decision behind his own speedy jabs, elusiveness and counterpunching. What do you guys think and who do you got?

Young. Tillis had some ability, but always came up short in the big ones. It would be fairly competitive with some close rounds, but Young would take the decision.

Young wins a decision in a boring fight that's difficult to score. The "action" would be more like chess than boxing.

My reason for picking Jimmy is that, overall, he was a higher-caliber fighter than Tillis.

Young by decision.

I remember a commentator once saying that Tillis was like an artist in the ring. He does something impressive and then steps back and admires his work. This would have all the makings of a dull fight.
