    Plenty easy. Tony was 37 years old and hadn't fought in almost 20 years. Enough said.

    Tony would've shredded both those guys in one night. Simply too much firepower.

    I dont why they let the sick **** out of jail.
    I thought American justice was pretty tough. Obviously not.

    He was a hot prospect though. But he was unproven in his youth. Who did he beat before going to jail who was top-flight ?

    Carlos Herrera(who gave Maurice Hope all he wanted) and Robbie Eppswho beat top contender Dwight Davison before he fought Ayala. Those were probably the two top guys he fought. also kod a few tough journeyman. Also blew out former title challenger Steve Gregory.

    Tony made Jake LaMotta look like a lifelong feminist.

    Yeah, I've seen the Epps fight.
    Ayala took him out in one round and wanted to keep hitting him after the referee stopped it. Was Ayala ******ed or what ?

    I dont think Epps was much good though.

    As a student of the Law the federal criminal law system in the US is in the stone age it is very archaic and unforgiving. If he was not famous he would have stayed in Jail a lot longer. However, He did go to prison in Texas which is not fun. I personally never liked the guy, but he sure could fight.

    In my opinion : The nature of his crimes were such that if the system is to make no effort to rehabilitating him or fix him mentally, then it should keep him locked up forever.

    He could fight, yeah. But maybe a bit too hyped. He was an aggressive puncher but never came across as much more than that. I think his age, 19, allowed him to be a good bet to hype-up.

    Interesting what Epps is trying to tell us in the post-fight interview 6:00

    Epps was a good fighter who was real rangy, i had a friend who fought him*Hank Livingstone* he said Epps had a real snappy jab and could hit you from across the ring. Epps beat Davison who was a very good fighter and considered one of the top mws. Ayala just blew out Epps, how can you tell how good Epps was by that? Tony looked awesome in that fight. Ayala was just an angry crazy Mof, and Epps insulted his family thats why he wanted to keep hitting him he also spat on him.

    Rehabilitation is actually only a part of the motives for incarceration in the American Penal System. I am too tired to elaborate but I think he should have been killed. Rapists and pedophiles deserve to be executed...just my opinion.

    I agree with your sentiments but the law does not permit that.

    Epps was no world-beater, that's what I mean. Ayala probably beat a few guys on his level.

    Turns out that Ayala was more than "just an angry crazy Mof" ..... he was a A-1 predatory ******. I suppose he was a "mother****er" in the sense that he's likely to break into your home and **** your mother.

    And Epps was right to dislike him. Any decent human being would.
