    Yup. Mike had a chance for revenge, but the ending was very similar to the first. I think like the first one the ref could've let it go a moment longer, but it wouldn't have mattered.

    There was also Holmes-Bonecrusher II.

    Yes, and Weaver was KO'd in 6, from what I remember. His fight prior to that was the Bonecrusher rematch.

    His fight after this? against Eric "Butterbean" Esch.

    Just as there was a Holmes-Smith 2,so I believe. Sad :-( Old men fighting on years after they should have quit.
