    Could have swore you were at the Sullivan vs Kilrain bout.

    But seriously what a great introduction to boxing.

    They had a long awaited rematch towards the end of last year. Goliath had been around for so long,he thought he'd change his name to Valuev !

    Bell was a HELLUVA FIGHTER. Many thought he beat Sugar that night. Not me; Sugar's combos were breathtaking.

    Holmes v Mike Spinks was one i remember showing a lot of interest in, but i used to always watch Barry Mcguigan fights and Frank Bruno fights around 1982 - 83 - 84..
