    It was at MSG, lots of excitement/knockdowns, etc., really, really good fight. Have not notice anyone mention it, to my surprise.

    Of course! His first fight in the U.S. 6 knockdowns and a brutal ko. One of the greatest fights at 126

    Wish there were more fights like that one. Foreman/Lyle was one of them, but I consider that fight ever better.

    Kevin Kelley was involved in another terrific lefty vs. lefty fight, his first bout with Derrick Gainer.

    That was a classic. Naz was knocked down a couple of times in that fight, but, he had recovered amazingly.

    The fight was worth paying to see, unlike some PPV events.

    Even when Naz got KD in the 1st I still knew he was going to win, he still kept coming forward and Kelley didnt take advantage, he seemed more than happy to just have a 10-8 round, just like RJJ against Calzaghe.

    I think it may've been my first time seeing Hamed. He was a real killer clown in that one if I remember correctly. Like a tiny British Max Baer.

    Wish we had another Naz in boxing.

    Love him or hate him. You would watch him!

    Naz v Kelly was one of the most exciting fights I remember watching. Perhaps my youth sees it stick in my mind as being better than it was, I dunno. I just remember being really excited watching that match up.
