    Its been bothering me I cant remember who though.
    It happened earlier this decade on HBO. It was a hispanic dude vs. some black guy. The hispanic guy said he didnt want to touch gloves with him and almost got into trouble for it, he did eventually. He knocked the black guy down about midway through the fight and was talking trash to him, black guy yelled out something back while still sitting on his ass. Hispanic guy got the TKO win and said in the post fight interview his antics in the ring were excused because of all the trash talk the other guy said leading up to the fight.

    :huh

    Sounds to me like

    Fernando 'El Feroz' Vargas vs Ross 'the boss' Thompson

    I dont think so, Mayorga touched gloves, and forrest didnt say anything to mayorga after the knockdown....

    at least to me, it sounds more like Feroz vs Thompson

    Yeah your probably right, Mayorga popped into my head since he said welterweight in 2002 and he was a massive shittalker so I figured one of his fights fit the bill
