Thanks for the reply. Oh my, he was awful that night. Earlier that year in his previous fight he put up a great show against Bowe. He came into the ring against Lennox looking like he'd aged 5 years in that time. Once Lennox clubbed him with a right hand it was easy to see he didn't wanna be there . I think you are right about it being on a Holyfield undercard.
Your right SAINTPAT,haha I FORGOT THE Quarry boyz, till I saw 1st posting .Followed JERRY FROM amueters till the end R.I.P. CHAMP
I have not seen too many great live fights. I saw Hearns fight twice.. Genaro Hernandez, Humberto Gonzales, Chavez. But not in big fights. I saw smaller fights when I lived in California. Now that I live in Dallas, Texas I have not seen a fight for sometime.
Hagler & Arguello were the 2 names that sprung to mind when I saw this thread (against Minter & Watt respectively). Honourable mentions; Santos Laciar (although he lost on points to Charlie Magri when I saw him!); Tim Witherspoon, Jimmy Young; most of the best British fighters from the late 70s to the early 90s.
Kostya Tszyu. I saw him blast out some guy called Pedro Sanchez in Melbourne in 1994 as a pimply faced 18 year old. He looked pretty damn good I must say. Other than that the best fighter I saw live was Jeff Fenech, only he wasn't. I saw him get stopped in 2 by Phillip Holiday again in Melbourne in 1996. It was pretty sad to be honest. I was lucky enough to see Fenech fight live on TV during his peak years as a young kid and I prefer to remember those days.
1) Lomachenko vs Sosa, Rigondeaux, and Linares 2) Golovkin vs Macklin and Geale 3) Rigondeaux vs Donaire 4) Sergio Martinez vs Dzinziruk 5) Kovalev vs Hopkins
I went to the Lomachenko-Rigondeaux and Linares fights too. The Linares one was one of my favorites of recent years.
I went a lot to fights at the Forum, Los Angeles as a kid for about 5 years, 70's .. early 80's. . I think it was Tuesday night fights at the Forum .. Between the fights, Laker games, Kings games, and rock concerts... Man the Forum was awesome for events
