    Ever watch "bad" movies, because they're fun in a warped way? So bad they're good affairs, you know what I mean. This bout is the equivalent of a terrible movie, right down to the acting and writing. :lol:

    The commentary here is also absolutely hilarious, and ironically brings up the great Primo himself, which seems to jinx the fight... :lol:

    Legend has it, if you look in a mirror at night by yourself and say "Primo!" three times fast the ghost of Primo Carnera will appear... :lol:

    I imagine that Gonzales must have been out of shape and getting drilled with overhand rights as an am, but also getting saved by three round limits and headgear.

    Who knows. Supposedly the entire boxing regiment in Cuba is so strict being overweight and lazy isn't something that typically becomes an issue with talented Cubans until after they make it to the good old US of A.

    Maybe he was in shape as an am, but his complete lack of defense for overhand rights still would've doomed him in the pros.

    I must comment on the brutality shown in this fight. Underage children might be able to log onto this website and watch this. Even sensitive adults will be sickened.

    It really is an expose of the sport as a whole, isn't it?

    The joke going around from Bowes fans was that Lennox was going to fight Gonzalez who'd failed miserably as a pro came back to burn them When it was Bowe who fought him himself
