    Basilio beat Saxton again in a 2 round knockout. They had a trilogy.

    Basilio should have won the first fight with Saxton imo. The win went to the wrong guy imo.

    Are you happy with your boxing career? "It was my life i loved it"
    Who was your toughest opponent? "They were all tough"
    Who was your favourite boxer? "All of them"

    hahaha jabbing malignaggi "i was playing with him. If i wasnt playing he wouldnt be walking around right now"

    seems like a very nice, very cool no bull**** type of guy and still very sharp for his age

    And just how many other fighters can deal with bad cuts and swelling and continue to win? Most guys that get busted up go right down the tank and lose and aren't competitive. Not Carmen. Anybody signing to fight the guy was going to be in for one of the toughest fights of their careers.

    Those Demarco fights seldom get mentioned anymore, but what brutal fights. Lots of guys are washed up after 2 fights like that and have major physical deterioration.
