Billy Conn vs Willie Pastrano 15 rds at LHW

Two evenly matched fighters with skill and craftiness, though not the biggest of punchers. So who would win if they met for the LHW title.

I have to give this some serious thought myself, as I could easily see this going to a split decision.

These two are not evenly matched. Conn is much better than Pastrano in every facet of the game except power. Conn wins an easy 15 UD.

Pastrano was a very clever and underrated boxer. Near the end of his career he helped tutor a young Muhammad Ali. Like Conn he also performed fairly well against larger opponents.

In a 15 rounder I think Conn wins something like 9-6, but if they fought three times Pastrano would win one.
