Deron Williams vs Frank Gore Preview: Will it be the NBA or NFL that proves to be the tougher league?

For years Jazz fans would be seeing Deron Williams breaking ankles on the court with a vicious crossover. Tonight Deron Williams will be looking to take down former NFL running back Frank Gore with a right cross.

This is a fascinating exhibition as both fighters are from different professional sports and are trying their hand in the ring. Because both fighters are relatively new in the sport and so it feels like an even playing field. Although there are advantages and disadvantages that have to be considered.

For Deron Williams there’s a height and reach advantage. Williams is 6’3” while Gore stands 5’9” and that alone gives Williams an advantage.
