    Who was that guy in the trousers and shirt? He certainly wasn't a referee.

    Wauw.

    Things got out of hand early with the ref very reluctant to enforce any rules. The end was appauling.

    Frizie Zivic was the master...his fight with Bummy Davis was a classic...Sandy Sadler was as dirty as they cam but he took Pep out of his boxing game so he succeeded in his efforts. Lennox Lewis hold and hit...Ali pulling on the neck...Holmes..thumbing the eys, Smith,Frank......Tyson.....Marciano unintentional elbows

    Sammy Serrano was a piece of work. He'd come out at the opening bell, hands down as if to touch gloves, then sucker punch if his opponent reciprocated. He nearly saved his title from Roger Mayweather with a stunning elbow.

    Someone told me Hennerberry's brother (or in-law maybe cant remember) was a bookie, so whenever Ron really started getting the better of him, he would start fouling the hell out of him to deliberately get DQed. This would void all bets that were put on the bout.

    There was a similar circumstnce a few years back on FNF but cant remember specific names. Bell rings for Round 1, Fighter A walks out and holds out his hands to touch gloves, Fighter B walks out and ice's the guy. Despite how disgustingly cowardice it was, the decision stood as once the bell goes a fighter must defend himself at all times

    Tom Sharkey v Jeffries had it's moment including Sharkey pulling Jeffries glove off and then trying to hit Jeffries as the ref was putting the glove back on.
