BOXING - What Happened On This Day???????

They did fairly well overall Ash. Rightly or wrongly the Kewel send-off probably cost them advancement to the next round - **** happens.

 

Certainly an absolute beast that Duran.

At least Hec inflicted some pain on him. In fact enough for Duran to remember Hec forever.

Turns out our resident troll and self proclaimed expert on all matters boxing is a French photographer!



It's exactly 6 months to the day til Christmas.

With the 'Frog Virus' now removed this thread will revert back to what it's actually here for:

Harry Greb v Hugh Walker - Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.


"According to the sport writers every round was Greb's, who gave fifteen and one-half pounds to Walker." (Indianpolis Star) Walker reported as Hughey Walker-Kansas City.

The Pittsburgh Post said that a booming right nearly floored Greb in the first round. Walker won that round but Harry took the other nine. He smothered Walker in a hail of blows, outfought him on the inside, and cut and bruised him.

Walker kept trying and made it an interesting fight, but he was too slow to give Greb much trouble.

....and the result, not unusual for the time - NWS 10 to Grebb (ie news paper decision).

Mike Tyson v Michael Spinks - Convention Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.

Tyson retains his World heavyweight title by KO in round 1 of 12.

This was Spinks’ only loss in a career that included World titles at both light heavyweight and heavyweight, and 32 career wins. It would also be his final bout.

For the 22 years old at the time Tyson, it was still early days.

The controversial Jeff Fenech v Azumah Nelson draw for WBC super featherweight title in Las Vagas, Nevada, USA.

Judges: Jerry Roth 115-113 (for Nelson), Dave Moretti 114-114, Miguel Donate 112-116 (for Fenech).

'Flash' Malcolm offered an interesting perspective on this result - and that is, from a gambling perspective, what it meant for the bout to be declared a draw!

 

Bonjour homosexuelle French poodle imbecile.

James Toney v Reggie Johnson - Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

‘Lights Out’ Toney retains his IBF middleweight title in a close PTS decision over 12 rounds.

 

Most would have expected the drunk to be Griffo - but he would have fought and won regardless!
