    Haven't been around much lately, but I'm trying. Here's a little something for the few guys on here I consider friends. You know who you are. ;)

    Commentators are very complimentary of Brown's defensive abilities, which I appreciate.

    I forgot how good he was. Beautiful short punches. Love the way he works the right uppercut to the body, very very useful left hand.

    This was a hideous mismatch.

    Young was quite faded and got this shot soley on beating a drugged out shell of Aaron Pryor.

    Brown took care of business quickly, as expected.

    The IBF 147 lb rankings were pretty mediocre and Brown didn't face a decent challenge between the first Trice fight and the Blocker unification fight- a span of three years. He was not aligned with a major promoter during his IBF 147 reign.

    He stagnated during his absolute prime.
