Total Rounds

Over 8.5 Rounds

Given that both fighters are undefeated and possess significant amateur experience, this hypothetical bout would likely be competitive and tactical. Crocklem's durability and defensive prowess, coupled with Davis's measured approach despite his power, make it probable that the fight would extend into the later rounds, potentially going the distance.
