    That's the only footage of Burley, isn't it? I saw it a while back and thought he looked remarkably average. It probably wasn't his greatest performance, though. Do you know what the media reaction to the fight was? Did they consider it a good Burley performance or an off-day?

    De La Hoya vs. Forbes
    De La Hoya vs. Quartey
    Hagler vs. Mugabi
    Moore vs. Durelle
    Holyfield vs. Bowe I

    Really?! Jesus, I thought he looked cracking.

    Basically it was seen as a great performance. Before he took out Smith for the second time, Burley was lined up to take on Robinson. Robinson, who was supposedly at the arena, doubled his demands after this performance from a career's best payday of 25k to a CRACKING career's best payday of 50k.

    Right to the body, lightning fast one two and head movement are the things that impress me most about this fight, not to mention Burley' best weight is 147 and here he is pushing back a contender at 175.

    It is indeed the only footage of Burley that is known to exsist. He was past his very best by this point but was seen as having turned back the clock with this effort.
