Third? Or second? I own the second fight.
:huh I suppose you're referring to my Moore reference when he said he came in with a new style to beat Charles every time they fought but could...
There are some nice autographs in Eastgate, seen 'em?
Moore often told stories, sometimes different versions of the same event, and they frequently fail to add up. He was a truly great fighter, but an...
I see Williams outboxing him, beating him to the punch and staving off Pryor's relentless pace. Williams would take punches, but less than he'd be...

This is probably the most to-the-point piece of footage on Williams out there* - his stoppage of Johnny Bratton. Previously, Williams had won a...
