    I'll be watching this.
    (It's too bad they never caught Aaron Pryor tho....)

    He was defo 100% Lewis'd against AA, no doubt in my mind.

    Exactly, the first thing I remembered was the Cotto/Margarito fight. Scumbags like that need to be banned and quick. Since when did Margarito do to fighters what he did to Cotto and so early in the fight?

    Pryor's first fight with Arguello definitely had many questions unanswered regarding the black bottle. They seemed to ignore/drop the discussion after what happened in the rematch.

    Hope they pay more attention to stuff like this if they want to protect the sport from corruption.

    i understand....that i dont understand, why you decided to place understand at the end of each point.....understand?
    Joking aside....where on earth were the stewards when all of this was taking place, they should be held part responsible for their stupid actions ( i mean why leave a dressing room, surely they could have got someone to pass on a message instead of delivering it themselves!!?)

    Dam look at how old Randy Gordon looks!!!!! I remember him when Tyson was coming up and he used to commentate on HBO!!

    Scar you remember this dont you? That was Panama Lewis. The scumbag took the stuffing out of Resto's gloves. The first time i watched that fight i was stunned as to "how" that kids face marked up soo bad. When it emmerged that Resto had dipped in his in plaster of paris (the same thing Margarito did) and had the stuffing taken out of his gloves i was literally stunned. That kid absorbed a fearful beating and it ended his career. All because of Panama Lewis. That ******* was in Tyson's camp as well if i reemember rightly for the Lennox Lewis fight.

    I saw this recently and found the whole thing rather disturbing. Panama Lewis still enjoys a level of celebrity within boxing and certainly makes a pretty penny out of the sport despite his "ban".

    I know he trains fighters but he's not allowed to work corners. The man was a scumbag. And Margarito did the same thing for probably the best part of a career.
