Interesting wording as it’s quite common in world-class swimming — or was when Olympic level swimmers could get TUEs (thereaputic use exemptions)...
We got to nearly the same place in nearly the same way: I gave Earnie the second round (narrowly), had an even round and gave Holmes a 10-8 round...
The only combinations I remember from Frank were a clubbing right to the back of the head followed by another rabbit punch and still another. One...
Who is the best heavyweight champ, in his best version, whom the Mike Tyson who lost to Buster Douglas could beat? Curious to hear your answers.

We need a video of James Toney waddling through a tour of the IHOP.
I’m thinking the right counterpuncher who wouldn’t take the lead (a la Jimmy Young without ducking his head through the ropes) would be the right...
I don’t care if it was Florence Henderson … murder is murder! [MEDIA]
It would probably be very uncomfortable and smelly. They had it a lot rougher than we do. I also don’t have the proper wardrobe. I think I’d pass.
Excellent choice.
