    Margarito vs. Cotto I. Cotto was wailing on Margo with counter shots for the better part of the fight until Margo finally wore him down and plastered him.

    I'm sorry but NO. Taylor had that fight in the bag. Chavez would have LOST if it weren't for the fact that Richard Steele was on Don King's payroll...

    Michael Bentt v Tommy Morrison - Morrison had already rocked him & was well on his way to another KO1 win, when Bentt suddenly
    turned the tables & Tommy was on the deck three times for a KO by 1.

    Pavlik-Taylor 1 was actually pretty good.

    I forgot about that. I thought Taylor was going to win for sure for the first half of the fight.

    Recently, Diablo's comeback over Chakhiev (sp?) was pretty amazing.

    I remember back in 99 in Ft Worth tx an unbeaten supposed future superstar named ****** The Ugandan Destroyer Juuko was matched with a Mexican fighter Antonio Hernandez who's record was 49-22. It was supposed to be a showcase for Juuko against a clubfighter. It started that way Juuko beat on Hernandez unmercifully but Hernandez hung in there. Juuko started to gas around the 6th round and Hernndez started catching him, just missing with powerful blows Juuko started to showboat. I was sat next to the judge & said. Juuko gotta be careful if one of them lands he's done
    Id hardly said it when BOOM!!! down goes Juuko he struggled up on spaghetti legs couldn't continue & ref Jerry McKenzie stopped the fight.
    Hernandez had cuts over both eyes & his face was a mess but I have never seen a wider smile on anyone when I said 'Good fight" he said Gracias Senor I now champion
    He came to be a punchbag for the star and left with the title
