    SRL by decision, Palomino was durable as hell

    but SRL very wide on the cards, much too fast, too good a jab, too much handspeed

    he ain't knocking him out though

    Leonard by stoppage isnt outta the question at all. In fact I think Leonard does stop him.

    Palomino was tough as hell, but he wasnt Lamotta/Laporte type durable. And there arent too many welters that are taking Leonard's flush combos ALL night long.

    Duran would have stopped Palomino had it been a 12 rounder, and CERTAINLY had it been a 15 rounder.

    Theres not ALOT of welters who I'd pick to stop Palomino, but 3 who I def think would have are Leonard, Hearns, and Trinidad.

    I just cant see it... and I dont know that Duran would have stopped him, Palomino was taking those shots and still trying to fight back in the 10th

    I agree Leaonard wins going away but he might just settle for a decision
