    I understand you are a police officer?

    If so, asking us to watch this certainly smacks of police brutality.

    I admit I couldn't watch the whole fight. This might just be the dullest 60 minutes on film. Give me a grade Z western or horror flick just to clean out my system.

    All it shows is that these two were not championship material.

    In fairness to Machen, he had gone back a great deal I think.

    As for Terrell, the sustained booing by his hometown fans for this "hometown favorite" tells one all one needs to know.

    The most exciting part was Steve Ellis' preview of the fight. He really sounded enthusiastic.

    *if there was a good round, point it out to me and I'll try to watch it.

    yeah it was boring. most of terrell's fights were. good boxer but not a crowd pleaser. Imagine if he and Joe Bugner ever got together in the ring. The tickets would have to read " do not attempt to operate machinery after viewing this fight."

    Pretty hard to believe that Terrell was known as an exciting high volume banger in the amateurs. You can see it in the earlier fights, he gives up his height like no professional ever should and tries to fight like hes 5'10".

    Kudos magoo!!!
    I've been saying that for years.
    You could give me free suds, free dogs, and a ringside seat for a pvp Terrell-Bugner and I might turn it down!
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
