Lol no Hatton was more foul then a hookers snatch that night there was no beat down just corrupt refereeing he should’ve been DQ’d he hid nothing Tszyu quit on frustration alone.
Hagler vs Minter. Minter made some comments pre-fight and had the backing of National Front types within the arena. Makes a guy hard to like. I was thinking about Nelson vs Gomez as well and was surprised to find the judges had Gomez ahead at time of stoppage.
Agree wholeheartedly about Boner but, seriously, you enjoy watching one of boxing's all time gentlemen, Ezzard Charles, getting a beating? I have to dislike the fighter on the end of it if I can enjoy a beatdown so Barrera v Hamed, JCC v Camacho, Sanchez v Gomez all appeal. I enjoyed Bowe-Golota at the time but have since come to realise Riddick is a nice guy so I wouldn't watch that again. My dream fights would have been a motivated Duran in with Tony Ayala and Edwin Valero. Hopefully they get him angry before training camp. Duran would have dished out a beating and a half. One that women could enjoy, as well.
I know, and I like the guy. I'd just rather talk about the more interesting fighters throughout history.
I have to say Calzaghe-Lacy in terms of the quality of the performance. Calzaghe not only beat Lacy from pillar to post but he was looking flashy and great whilst doing it. Legendary performance in a unification fight which I think can never be surpassed.
I like the fight, and I like that Marciano overcame a split nose So no, I don't really care that Charles got his face kicked in
Yeah I heard Minter was alleged to have said that no Black man would take his title but they could get get away with racist views back then in the 1970s and 80s in Britain . He will be banned or warned by the police if he said anything like that today.
