    That was horrible stuff, big heart shown by Abraham in sticking it out to win, although his corner-men were a little bit too brave letting him taking this Punishment. You could hear Arthur moaning with pain in between the rounds as they took his gumshield out.

    As I remember, Miranda was a little unlucky not to win this one to.

    Dont forget Muhammad Ali. He also went over 8 rounds with Ken Norton with a broken jaw. Doctors said after seeing Xrays The pain must have been intolerable

    The fighter I award the prize to is a mexican club fighter Antonio Hernandez. He fought ****** The Ugandan Destroyer Juuko, who was at the time being touted as boxings next great thing. They met in Ft Worth Tx in Feb 1999 for the interim WBA Super Featherweight title. I was sat on ring apron right next to the judgereporting on fight. Juuko really gave Hernandez a boxing lesson He beat on Hernandez bad for 10 rounds. Hernandez face was a mess but he never gave up trying rocking Juuko several times in fight. In round 11 Hernandez suppnly opened up on Jukko after Juuko had tried to mock & embarass him . He beat the hellout of the very over rated Juko forcing referee Jerry Mckenzie to stop the fight making Hernandez the winner by TKO 11
    He came out of ring after the fight cut , batterered and bruised but a winner with a smile on his face went ear to ear. As he passed I congratulated him he replied "Thankyou sir very much I cannot see you very well but I appreciate you"
    Antonio was indeed a very brave & courageous fighter

    There is apost script to this though Guess who Juuko fought in his next fight in May 1999?? Floyd Mayweather jr cherry picking opponents who had just lost badly even then lol result Mayweather TKO 9

    Vitali vs Chisora showed that even in his old age with a deteriorating body, Vitali still has the heart of a champion

    He beat a young hungry lion in his prime and going through the excruciating pain of a rotator cuff injury since round 2.

    Vitali still schooled the tough as nails Chisora through 12 rounds with just one arm, and in a way only a Klitschko could have done. Vitali proved once again why he is the last legendary heavyweight
