    Barrera didn't have a clue where he was after Jones clocked him. His corner had to help him back to the stool, so it's evident he couldn't continue in the fight.

    I know with my Jones avatar I sound like a nuthugger, and probably even more do due to the fact that I've already brought this up in the thread, but I don't see how that fight is controversial.

    :D

    You know dat; always liked Jofre, but not dwelling in the Classic anymore I didn't see all the footage posted on YouTube in the last few months.

    Has been great watching Jofre show mere mortals what plebs they are...and handing Carabello his first stoppage loss :yikes

    I noticed there's more of his fights on there. Will definetely watch them at some point (I'm working my way back in time, disjointedly I might add, but I'm flirting with the 90's at the mo') so it may be a fair few weeks before I get to Jofre :yep

    Didn't realise that the Naz/Barrera fight wasn't the first time they shared the ring together. When Barrera was recovering in his corner, Naz was congratulating Junior on his KO win, and probably discussing a future fight. No question that Jones would have taken it (At his own peril, Naz KO) so I wonder why it didn't happen...?

    Biggest missed opportunity was Naz-Gatti after the Kelley fight :-(

    I haven't forgotten mate. It's a shame none of his fights are on sweetboxing. You can normally get most of a fighters career on there :-(.

    Did you see that Herbzg post? Godly.

    He has a few on YouTube, although I know you don't like not so great quality footage.

    Yeah I posted on it, Post Of The Year.

    Having a look, there's a fair few fights I could easily watch. I've sat through worse quality, so it shouldn't be a prob :good

    I'm pleased Herbzg is back.

    The only man 185lbs and below that could beat Marciano is Gene Tunney.

    Sweet, Canto a G. Defensive footwork that is ****ing immense.

    Herbzg, the most knowledgeable poster on ESB, returned to the lounge briefly today and left a tremendous post, before once again disappearing into the evening.
