    Witter Vs Judah ?

    I know he took it at short notice and regarded it basically as experience.

    I actually havent watched the whole fight so i cant say as such.

    Im sure if i didnt put this up, someone would have.

    He ran the whole night am sure i kept hearing, did he ?

    Was it that bad or was it a snoozer ?

    Cheers :good

    Woods vs Tarver was a dire match up.

    Agree with the Highlander....Witter Vs Judah was terrible.


    But my vote goes to Hatton Vs Pac

    I wouldn't say so Hoya.....he got outboxed but considering the amount his skills had diminished by the time they fought,I dont think Naz could've performed a lot better.

    Yeah but he could have done a few rounds of sparring in preperation....

    Naz's training camp for Barrera essentially consisted of getting a haircut and playing video games. :lol:

    Yeah Hamed lost by

    - Chuck Giampa 111-116 | judge: Patricia Morse Jarman 112-115 | judge: Duane Ford 112-115-

    which is no shame when you consider how brilliant Barrera was.
    Hamed didn't run or cheat, he was just outgunned in every department.
