    True...
    And thinking about it now, DLH has a lot of controversial decision.

    DLH - Sturm
    Sturm should've won

    Mosley - DLH 1
    DLH should've won.

    Ali beat Norton in there 3rd fight hands down. Norton did not do much. I was there at ringside. Boring fight. Ali controlled most of the fight from the outside. Couldn't give to Norton even if I wanted to.

    YOU SERIOUS?!
    Landed shots was almost 3 to 2 in Norton's favor. And even Ali himself later joked about thanking the judges for giving him the decision.

    But what I really want to know, what was the aftermath like? Did you get out of the rubble unscaved sitting ringside? What did you think of the crowd's reaction after seeing it for Ali yourself?

    How about Maravilla vs Cintron by the way?
    Only fight I know in which a boxer literally needed a knockout to get a draw against the home fighter :lol:

    Haha basically how I was going to describe it myself.

    Def one of the craziest calls I've seen a ref make while watching live.
