    The fight was for the "EBA" title, a recent invention by the WBA - not for the real thing which still is the EBU. It's not uncommon for the interalphabetties to sanction fights where only one boxer is eligible to win the paper belt they've put on the line, see all the "youth" title fights for example, where often only one boxer is under the age limit. I haven't seen such fights made for the more serious traditional belts like the EBU, British, English and the C'wlth.
    The belts are a joke, but some are far more of a joke than others.

    awesome read man! got damn.

    I remeber those times quite well and you re-tell it like gold man. I remember Luis Perez vs. Dimitri Kirilov on the under card of when John Scully's fighter Jose Antonio Rivera won WBA LMW strap from Alejuandro Garcia on a excellent Showtime show, IMO. Luis Perez had to get his haircut inbetween rounds cause it kept falling in his face distracting him...haha. Was one of the first times I'd seen something like that..(who knew Paulie M. would make that hair cut seem so tame).

    King Kong vs. Perez was awesome and I'd initially cheered for Perez (I didn't really "like" the win against Kirilov tbh, know what I mean?), but I usually end up cheering for the "under dog" a lot of times and King Kong delivered in style.

    Btw, I read the Ring Mag and several others all the time, and they don't have **** as good as this:
    by guys who prolly get mad paid for their ****. Good job mayn.:yep

    Ancient Chinese arithmetic proverb say: You get hooked one tenth as many times on the abacus beads, you get 10% the outrage (and shoot 10% the sperm per pop).

    Long shot, but does anyone know Joe's amateur record?

    Given the lack of quality in the African amateur scene (due to sparsity of high end training) it could well be that Yonnhy Perez is the only man to ever beat him in a boxing ring period. It's also entirely possible he didn't even have any amateur experience - which would just make his career results all the more impressive.

    I say long shot even if he did compete unpaid because a) he turned pro all the way back in the 90's, and record keeping in general the world over has made leaps and bounds since then and b) even now documentation is a bit lacking, especially in developing areas.

    If he was in fact undefeated and/or completely uninitiated as an amateur boxer, then it is a stunning fact that the only man to ever legitimately beat him was so utterly vanquished in the rematch that a rubbermatch seems unnecessary. They've gone 24 rounds and Agbeko has a 15 to 9 edge (with most of his 15 winning rounds being far more dominant, while those 9 to Perez were pretty much all tight).
