    Well I was watching Espn Johnson Flynn a few years back and I recall the commentary saying that the cameras were poor and could not get the fighter's head in the cameras. At first I am like I buy that.(Ten years back of couse) But about 3 years ago, I got my hands on the 9 rounds of Johnson Flynn, Always wanted to make a trade on how Espn likes to blame the camera man when they relly mess up the footage themselfs. Can they just say they screw up and we dont know how to put the pic "Right" on TV instand of blaming the camera crew??

    First the Espn pics.

    It looks like they bumped the frames up to make room for that damnable "ticker"!

    I buy that also, but I have seen the fight with out the ticker in the bottom, and its the same thing. Only you see more of there feet of couse. Also I have Boxing's best the heavyweights 2 part series, on Tape, and its the same thing. Heads cut off.

    I have seen two versions of Johnson vs Flynn. One with their heads chopped off by the camera, and one without. Espn has the chopped off version.

    Flynn said he head butted Johnson because Johnson was holding him too much, but earlier rounds of the fight show Flynn getting frustrated.

    The books should have this as a DQ win for Johnson, not a TKO win.
