Congratulations on this Chris, I look forward to getting a copy.
I've read other accounts here and there as well that he was/is not a pleasant guy.
He showed good poise, power, boxing ability, and how to adhere to a good fight plan in the first Galindez fight. Old Galindez or no, Rossman...
Tommy, albeit a wide points verdict, no KO most likely. Griffith, as has been said, fought exactly as hard as he needed to in a given fight. I...

Limon is fascinating to watch. He's so aesthetically offensive you can't look away. It's what you would get if you gave a chimpanzee a fifth of...

I love how Murray Sutherland still stirs the passions after all these years.
