    Vincent Pettway and Simon Brown

    true ebb and flow encounter, coupled with some great insight from 'Iron' Mike, some commedy enthusiasm from him and a frightening KO, which some people may find hilarious.

    Theres one spectacular fight i NEVER hear talked about...

    Simon Brown vs Tyrone Trice 1.

    What a brutal back and forth war for 14 rounds. Definitely a match that flies under the radar and doesn't get its just dues.

    The Pettway one was just brutal, one of my favs, oh, Foreman vs Lyle too if not already mentioned is a heavy weight war.

    Tuaman and "The President" Ike Ibeabuchi is a classic worth watching too

    Liakhovich(sp?)-Brewster is one of the better HW title fights of recent years.

    Somsak Sithchatchawal -Mahyar Monshipour from two years ago is an absolute war. Was fight of the year as well.
