    Don't forget him coming in on a magic carpet against Barrera and then getting his ass beat.

    Another great corny entrance is Paolo Vidoz entering to a Village People tribute band. Good stuff.

    It is easy to see why Uzzy would be a posterboy for chincheckers and others with an appreciation for a glass jaw.

    It was something different, I liked it. It was obviously corny at times and the mishaps were embarrassing, but overall it wasn't bad production quality. When George Foreman peered up from the newspaper, I was sold lol.

    Yeah the ring intros for Haye/Klitschko were terrible, made me cringe. It did nothing to build the atmosphere and excitement for the fight for the crowd, which is the whole point of a good ring walk. Only good part were the fireworks for Wlad.

    Now Chris Eubank had an awesome ring walk as did Nigel Benn, gives me chills every time.

    I'm glad i am not the only one who feels this way. It was not one thing that was wrong but just a combination of weird mixed signals. Even the fireworks seem a bit pathetic in retrospective. The turks have a beautiful idiom : A mountain gave birth to a mouse.

    I had a nostalgic moment though. It was when Foreman went to look for Wlad and they kept him out of the room. I was eating pizza with my friend and we both simultaneously stopped chewing. A moment passed in silence and than my friend said : I bet Foreman would bulldoze them both on the same night... It was pretty funny, don't know if it still is :think
