    I lived through Eusebio Pedroza- Bernard Taylor. I'm guessing it's probably on YouTube. Good cure for insomnia if you ever need one. 15 rounds of nothing. I was a big fan of Pedroza at the time, and I considered Taylor to be a future champ. But the matchup was a nightmare. Usually I don't like draws, but I'm not sure any other ending would be fitting in this case.

    Don't be too hasty. James Warring says 'Hi'.

    I remember Johnny was gutted after this one that he had let the De Leon fight repeat itself.

    Shame. A nice guy and a better boxer than his career-defining fights would suggest but he seemed to freeze on the big nights.

    Maybe the worst part is his nickname of 'The Entertainer.' Not really read the room, there, has he?

    It's a bit like Niccolino 'The Hit Man' Locche.

    Already happened,,,Wlad vs Fury was the chamber of horrors for boredom in a ring. The fight should have been declared a no-contest , purses withheld ,and Wlad stripped of the title for non effort

    I fear that Howard Davis-Hector Camacho would have been a horrible fight. I must say though that I really wanted to see it at the time.
