    Pavlik vs Lockett has to be up there. Gary looked 500% overmatched in there.

    Dennis Andries vs. Thomas Hearns.
    Andries was strong but Hearns was on a totally different level.

    Details are sketchy but there was a Sky Frank Warren card with - I think - Naz headlining where Paul Lloyd and Ensley Bingham were destroyed in world title fights they probably shouldn't have been in. Winky Wright was one of the winners.

    My mistake - two separate bills now I've looked them up. Thinking of Bingham being hopelessly outclassed by Winky and Lloyd similarly embarrassed by Marco Antonio Barrera.
