    I had no clue that Hasim Rahman fought Trevor Berbick. Has anybody seen this fight? Does anybody have this fight? Send me a personal message if so please.

    Yeah, I have it on tape in my box of tricks.... This was back about 10 years ago---Circa 1997 / '98.... Rahman was young and wins a decision over the aged Trevor Berbick.... Christ, Berbick had to be 40 at the time.... It was televised by the USA Tuesday Night fights with Al Albert and Sean O'Grady calling the action.... NOT a great fight at all....:-(

    Berbick was a tough *******. Rahman really should have stopped him though.

    Far as I recall, it was almost all Rahman sticking the jab for 10 rounds and Berbick unable to close the distance.

    I also know that Larry Holmes personally congratulated Rahman for the win afterwards...still a bit of bad blood there obviously.

    Good old Larry. He and Berbick never got along.

    You're absolutely right...Berbick was down in the 1st, and against the ropes for the rest of the round. Rahman always had him wobbling in the 4th.
