Can you give us some details. Why were they fighting?

 

I'm new to the sport. Feb '06 I saw Tommy Hearns fight Shannon Landberg. Probably his last fight. Palace of Auburn Hills.

 

Spinks-Judah II

 

Caballo, what was your impression on Hagler-Colbert?

I saw one Hagler fight -vs. Hamsho 2 at the MSG.

 

- Klitschko/Mcline - Mayweather/Castillo 2 won the undercard
- Mayweather/Judah

The first card was OK, the main event being mostly boring as Mcline fought very scared. Mayweather/Castillo was pretty good, although I pissed off the Mexican guy sitting next to me when I told him I thought Floyd won!

Mayweather/Judah was a blast just because of the atmosphere in the Thomas & Mack Center. I was a little paranoid when the riot erupted in the ring. I had visions of Golota/Bowe.

I didn't have great seats at either card, so ultimately watching it on TV would have been better, but the atmosphere at a live fight is hard to beat.

 

Kessler vs. Beyer if you can call it a fight?

 

Hagler was already very big in New England at that time. He just looked rough, tough, very strong and very efficient with his punch delivery, defense, etc. Mike Colbert was pretty talented from what I remember. Kind of slick. He looked kind of like Walt Frazier. It was already clear Hagler was fearsome. We were already huge fans.

 

"World cup of boxing" in Sacaramento Ca and going to see the Chad Dawson fight in three weeks.
