    Pretty much how i see it. Every fight ends early with the possible exception of Bowe-Maskaev.

    I actually think that Etienne would've hung in there longer than one round. Holmes wasn't "that" big of a puncher. But I can't imagine Etienne not losing and I'd probably wager that he'd be stopped sometime along the way.

    I don't even see a "prime" Etienne (whatever that is) beating the Homes who fought Butterbean.

    I too would make Holmes the slight favorite here considering that Fres Oquendo knocked Etienne down seven times

    Yeah. That was back when Trinidad Sr. was wrapping his hands.
