    I believe the last ever scheduled fight to the finish only lasted 3.

    EDIT: only lasted just over a minute in the first. Langford vs Savage.

    What you guys think to Holy's DQ? I'm undecided, seemed a little harsh but probably the referee's only option.

    Oh ****, I misread it, my bad Scotty boy :good

    Nice fact.

    Speaking of facts, in fact, I should have used that 15 round thing as my best boxing trivia question, instead of that **** one which was answered in like 2 minutes :-(.

    A bit of a trivia question here, just thinking about the 1960 olympics. Who was the fighter who beat out Muhammad Ali for the val Barker best boxer of the games award during that Olympics? Ive heard of him before but cant for the life of me think of his name:think
