    Alex Arthur vs Michael Gomez, atmosphere sounded electric that night and you could tell that Gomez really fed off the abuse he got off which was probably a 95% Arthur crowd.

    EDIT- Couldn't have been much more than 50 Gomez fans in a crowd of 3,000.

    Especially for a relatively small venue. It was packed and everyone was cheering duran like he was back in his prime. After that performance they weren't too far off

    You are so right on all accounts. This is one of my favorite fights ever. Man, I love that combination that Duran knocked down Barkley with in the 11th. It just doesn't get much better than that.
