    Leaning towards the little men.

    You call those guys little men? They're huge compared to the guys I've been watching today.:yep

    Watch Quiroga-Anifowoshe anyways, better than Lopez-Ayala.

    Been watching that midget fight on the Jerry Springer show again? :yep

    I remember that fight was literally next on my to watch list months ago before I scrapped it (the list).

    It's time may just have come :think

    :lol: Could Ivan Calderon be classified as one I wonder?:think

    I suppose he'd be a dwarf among midgets.

    Yeah, get on that fight, hasn't got the skill I guess, but, y'know, WAR.





    I'm gonna go on a Casamayor-fest starting tomorrow I think.

    It looks like I'll have to download Ayala/Lopez, so I'll do that tonight and watch it tomorrow.

    Whilst I'm waiting for it to download, I'll watch The Kid Akeem vs Quiroga. Holmes/Norton will just have to wait, it seems.

    I love it when a plan comes together!

    De La Hoya vs Vargas (95-95) - Quite a good fight. De La Hoya used the most awkward shoulder roll I've ever seen (then again, his stance always looks a bit weird to me anyway). Did very well with his jab and left hook throughout the fight.

    Robert Quiroga vs 'Kid' Akeem Anifowoshe (114-114 Draw)

    Terrific blood and guts fight. I thought Quiroga landed the more eye catching shots throughout, and could have won more clearly had he kept the pace up at times, but he allowed Akeem to rally at times and nearly steal the fight in his favour. Some great exchanges between the 2, very closely contested which made the bout a bit hard to score at times, sort of remided me of Mares/Perez in that sense. Very tragic ending. It's a crying shame to see such talent and potential go to waste like that. I think Akeem could have possibly won a rematch and gone on to greater things.

    Was just reading this about little guys and it made me think of a fight I've been meaning to watch for a while, and as it doesn't go the distance i thought I'd fit it in before I went bed.
    Good good fight.
    Charlie Magri v Frank Cedeno
    Action packed start to finish. Righty v Lefty. Every punch that can be thrown is thrown.:bbb
    Gotta love the little guys:happy

    Khan vs Maidana (114-112) - Very good fight. Maidana = beast.

    Guys, a bit of help on the 10th round. Is it a legit 10-8 round? I had it 10-9 Maidana, but I'm not sure how one-sided a round has to be to be given as 10-8 without a KD.

    I don't know how much more of a beating Maidana would have to put on Khan without stopping him or knocking him down so I would say its a 10-8
