    According to Wiki, that was just the first incident. It was a much bigger deal that got him 24 years.

    I can't say I agree with that though.

    Winky Wright vs Julio Cesar Vasquez. Close fight, with all the KD's making it safe for Vasquez.

    That's it, no more fights today. Damn snow.:twisted:

    Toney vs Porter, Steve Little.

    Toney laboured in both fights, although Little took some hellacious clean counter punches.

    Junior Witter vs Tim Bradley.

    Good little fight, though the judge who scored for Witter was ridiculous. I thought 115-112 was a good score. Probably Bradley's best win to date.

    Four down and four to go. Thanks mate:good

    Brown vs. Blocker was a great fight. Blocker a freak at the weight at 6''2 who used reach and skill to his advantage and Brown a 5''9 powerhouse with a vicious left hook and very sturdy chin. And to think these two were best friends!:lol:

    With a deal like that, they should have arrested him if he turned it down!

    Nobody else did that Kalamby who himself was a very good middle, just another of Michaels great wins.

    I just have to say that at 6ft 2 Nunn was a huge southpaw middle but was an obvious athlete with nice movement and fantastic boxing skills. Especially loved his slight body movements to avoid punches, which is something you dont see today at middle weight except for maybe pirog but he doesnt come close to 2nd to Nunn in the speed department.

    Really would love to see the styles of Nunn and Toney in the game today.

    WHAT A FIGHT. Also, very sad what happened to both afterwards.

    Gatti v Ruelas. Those uppercuts in the 4th were bone breakers. And Arturo's left hand in the fifth was atomic.
