    They said the same thing about Bruce Curry, before he floored Wilfred
    '3x' in 1978, and beat the 'daylights' out of him.

    El Radar's chin had a magnet in it that night, and Curry's fists were iron.

    And Bruce Curry was just a slightly above average puncher.

    Who won the fight? Who won the rematch?
    I saw a lot of Dave Green from his early fights to his top line bouts, he never really improved to the next level .

    Bruce Curry won the fight.

    Madison Square Garden, who had the rights to Wilfred's bouts -
    made sure he got the decision.

    Everyone who was their, including me - knew he won that fight.

    Same thing with the Wilfred Benitez vs Harold Weston I fight. Harold got robbed.
