the advertisement on francis shoes made me lmao. I remember this well, the chap sold advertising on the soles of his shoes before the fight

 

Yeah remember the talk about it at time around the fight. End of the day Julius was put up to get a beating and Tyson to get another 'W' and cause hysteria over here. Julius went in gave it a go but had no chance and was swiftly dealt with.

 

I was there. Waste of money from a boxing point of view but good just have been to a Tyson fight. Calzaghe fought David Starie on the undercard in one of the most boring 12 round fights I've ever seen in my life.

 

Starie was ridiculously negative

 

remember it....the build up and how good Starie was and how it be a brilliant fight and then for 12 rounds **** all. Both men clinching and then mauling with there work and it was a shocker.

 

Yeah that was one of the poorest fights I've ever seen.

 

Mickey Vann had 3 rounds in it ...Good old Mickey. As you say one of poorest i seen as well.

 

They introduced various fighters who where in the crowd that night, and Hagler & Benn seemed to get the biggest cheers :yep.

 

WAsn't Hatton on the undercard as well?

 

Yeah he was. Just checked boxrec. stopped his man in 3.

 

Did you miss Nelson vs De Leon?

It makes me so sad to see what a crude brawler Tyson had become post prison...
