Can a ring exhibitionist whip a fighter who has not engaged In professional fisticuffs for nearly a year? On the other hand, can an inactivated fighter beat a lad who feels he's so good he will throw down his guard, stick out his chin, and dare his opponents to blast away? Ticket sales indicate jam-packed fight arena is in the offing, consisting of fans who are ex tremely anxious to get the ans wers first hand.
