    We're roughly the same age, I was watching boxing from I was 4, as both my older brothers and Dad were boxing mad

    Hmm, good question. He was most likely on a supply run to Balco.

    Evander was two years old when I started watching the weekly Thursday night fights from the Olympic Auditorium with my dad.

    Was during his final run. I remember he gave Value a good fight where I thought he got robbed and gave Sultan Ibragimov a good go winning 3 or 4 rounds while going the distance.

    In between that mostly lower level opposition to pad his record. Think one of his last fights he nearly got stopped by Sherman'The Tank' Williams.
