    Jack Dempsey and Banana Sam. Dempsey avoided him like he had the Black Sigatoka after their sparring session.

    Starling and Hearns had a good session which ended up with Marlon's jaw broke.

    Ayala-Cuevas and Czyz. Tony f***** them up royally. Also heard unconfirmed reports of Tony also KO'ing Hearns as well. Whether it actually did happen is anybody's guess, althought it wouldn't surprise me if it did.

    McAuliffe owned Dempsey in sparring. Dempsey could only rub McAuliffe's pot belly in admiration afterwards like some kind of Buddha. :D

    Yeah, the Cuevas fight has been shown to be a massive exaggeration multiple times.

    The Hearn's incident sounds like flat out bull****, considering what an older Hearn's showed in sparring against fighters like Gerald McClellan.
