I think the best way to beat Schmeling was with a high workrate, a hot pace... Baer, for example, came out throwing bombs and just never let Schmeling think and act... Schmeling needed time, time to invent and execute... when he had that time, he was a very dangerous man, cool and meticulous... his right hand was a vicious shot and a tremendous counterpunch... Walcott, with all of his tricks and cunning, was certainly not an easy guy to have success against if you were a counterpuncher, but he was also particularly vulnerable to the right and sometimes would make one move too many and get clocked with something... It's a weird fight, at times a snoozefest... I think it's a split decision affair... the Schmeling supporters will crow about him landing the hardest shots, the Walcott supporters will say their man dictated the tempo and landed more often
