Round 1: 10-9 Johnson

My Score: 67-66 Johnson (ATOS)

Official Score: (N/A)
Winner: By 8th round Technical Knockout to win the WBC Light-Heavyweight Championship of the World, Matthew Saad Muhammad.

One of the great fights of all time, and was named the 35th greatest title fight of all time by The Ring. What a fight! After which Matthew Franklin just 25 years old, standing in the ring after having won the title states he is a converted Muslim and his name from here on would be Matthew Saad Muhammad. And one of my all time favorite fighters.

YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS!! @CST80 @Badbot @Bustajay @bandeedo @Somachenko @Willie Maeket @N17 @pincai @PinoyProdigy @Chuck Norris Everybody, watch this!

 

One of the best fights ever. The first is just as good. One of the cool things about the first one is listening to the bored second string commentators who'd never heard of these no name fighters, weren't expecting much, were going through the motions, then they wake up after a couple of rounds and go "I think... I think this is a really good fight!"

 

I know I already did that one in the classic section, both fights were amazing.

 

Jerry Roth, Bob Logist, and Glen Hamada were judges. Sometimes, when a judge's scorecard is really egregious I go back into their history on boxrec to see how many other terrible scores I can find them turning in. For instance, besides the well known Adelaide Byrd or CJRoss, the guy who shafted Pac against Bradley is also responsible for shafting DLH in Mosley 2. These people must have diplomatic immunity to fail like that with impunity for decades together.

But I don't really have a problem with the DLH Trinidad outcome. I feel like justice was served for DLH's ***** move.

Duran puts on a performance to prove he is Top 5 maybe Top 2 ATG. Was there a better feinter or in-fighter than Duran? Who was it? This was considered a dream match, and yes Palomino's best days were behind him but Duran overwhelmed and made it look easy.

ATG infighting there. Off the top of my head, the only performance that compares would be James Toney vs Iran Barkley.

 

Such a great fight.
What's the story behind this fight?
It looks like Ike was a ****ing beast but he rarely gets mentioned.
