Ingemar Johansson vs. Chuck Wepner

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Heavyweight Bout

Ingo Bingo would land to dominate the Bayone Bleeder behind his effective jabs and big right hands to either take a decision or cut both of Wepner's eyes up for the late round stoppage. What do you guys think and who do you got?

I agree 100% with OP's assessment.

I'd also take Ingo. I figure he'd stop Wepner on cuts, but it's not out of the question he'd just lay him out with one of those right hands either. Ingo could Crack.

Are you certain? Don't overlook that Wepner remained on his feet against Foreman and Liston, both of whom could bang harder than Ingo.

If nothing else, Chuck had top-of-the-line durability.

No I'm not certain, and never will be
