    Tijuana has come along way since the 60s and 70s. Great fighters have come out of there.

    that series was past its prime over a decade ago... might end disasterous.

    True....but the "opponent" list is still saturated with them.

    They will probably cancel it and show women's volleyball!

    He has enough in him to beat some contenders.
    And young guys need to fight guys like him.

    Agree. Some of the most entertaining fights l have seen have been between well matched, lower level guys.

    Journeyman Donny McCrary rocked the teak-tough Bika down to his soul IIRC. Strange.

    In the words of Miguel Cotto: if Antoine Douglas cares about Antoine Douglas’s health, Antoine Douglas would tell Antoine Douglas to stop fighting before Antoine Douglas gets hurt.

    Maybe not so anomalous - McCrary also had a knockdown/drag-out brawl with Allan Green where they each tasted canvas (and Green seemed much closer to being stopped before eventually triumphing when Donny punched himself out)

    Green gave our boy his nastiest scare to date, the shot he dropped Kessler with momentarily mortified me, but Mikkel made him pay for that moment of sheer luck gruesomely.:D

    Yeah, not gonna lie, my huevos lodged up inside my body cavity for a sec. The very idea of Kessler having an L-by-TKO on his record to a (vegan) posterchild for inconsistency like Shoegazer... :scared1

    That truly would have been horrific. that alongside the last round of Martinez-Chavez are probably two of the most unpleasant boxing moments for me, and thank god I was only following along on your RBR and missed the actual KD of Froch against Groves, because that would have ranked right up there alongside them had I seen it live.

    Where is Sakio Bika? Did Haymon have him kidnapped? He disappeared after the Stevenson fight.
