    3 more:
    Chavez-Haugen
    Cotto-Bailey
    Duran-Moore

    I used to be a casual fan but I wanted to learn more about the sport because I wanted(still do) to be a boxer so I studied Ali and went on from there. Whitaker fights really got me to love defense and really respect the "sweet" science.(Get it? His nickname was Sweet Pea...OK I'll stop. Too many bad puns)

    The pun worked. Might have been stronger if you wrote "All the "1's" you can watch."

    true true,there are fights you think are gonna be good that turn out to be boring or not like we expected.and then there are fights where you think its gonna be an easy fight for one guy then the opposite happens.you just have to be dedicated to the sport.
