    Should be dedicated to all the Lomo fans who thinks he invented slipping and countering.

    This informational "stat sheet", like all the other ones you do, are IMHO invaluable...and I sure hope you've archived all the ones youve done over the years LH!

    Legend has it Willie fought Sugar Ray as kids in the amateurs. Up in Connecticut. Robbi won and the folk up there couldn't believe Pep lost. They held the kid from Harlem overnight to make sure he wasn't a pro.

    IDK how much of that story is true
