    If you asked ten boxing fans I will bet only one may remember it.

    I liked Beck-Barrett on the Judah-Spinks 2 undercard.

    That was a fun HW fight.

    Leapai-Walker was a good fight with a crappy ending. The others I don't agree with quite as much. Travis Kauffman vs. Tony Grano was another good one that flew under the radar. It's not heavyweight (cruiser instead) but another one that was WAY under the radar but was a spectacular fight (and available on Youtube in full) was Dominic Vea vs. Oscar Siale.

    the end was pretty bad both guys would get hurt and recover and hurt the other guy and when Leapai was at his worst he let it go but jumped in quickly as soon as the tide turned back to his favor

    and you didnt like Rahman vs Maskaev II that was a great title rematch with a great finish

    I'll be honest. I watched Tua-Ike and I didn't find it all that good.

    been a long time since i saw it

    i remember being let down but then again my expectations were super high

    what i remember was that both had such great chins that they couldnt hurt each other meaning a slugfest with no drama

    Holmes vs Witherspoon great great fight. No knockdowns but great skill for heavies. Witherspoon a 15 fight novice gave an aging champion a hard, close fight. Check out round 9

    What a waste of talent Terrible Tim was. Great defence, matched Larry's jab and a potent right. Realy well schooled smart fighter. Once he ate himself some manboobs his speed was gone and he relied to much on his overhand right as Bruno discovered.
    This pre burger eating Witherspoon would give current heavies fits including the brothers I reckon.
