    That was shocking. I remember watching that. Hill hadn't looked that ferocious since the James Kinchen fight.

    A classic from the old Tuesday Night Fights show was Anthony Hembrick, the undefeated Olympian, going back to Fort Bragg (where he was a two-time national amateur champion while serving in the Army), and taking on Booker T. Word for the vacant USBA Light Heavyweight Title.

    Hembrick famously put on a show during the ringwalk and introductions.

    Then got wasted in one round by the unheralded Booker T.

    Why was Smith knocking out Laing such a shock? He was stopped an KOed plenty of times in his career before an after he beat Duran.

    Prudencio Cardona vs. Antonio Avelar took place in Avelar's home country.

    It was Machen’s first time fighting outside of Sweden ffs

    Rigo was far from an underdog though.

    Terry Norris blasted out John Mugabi in a round in front of a largely pro Mugabi crowd in The Beast's adopted hometown.
