    That time Jack Reiss took 2 points from Andre Ward and Edwin Rodriguez both because he got hit.

    I did like that, but it was out of guilt.


    I went to the fight, had a big bet (for me) on McClellan, and was telling everyone, if they liked it or not, G-Man was going to blow Benn away....


    Afterwards, I was pissed (literally as well as figuratively), calling McClellan a dog, a quitter, my only defence was no one knew in our crowd until the next morning what had happened.


    So watching it on TV a few days later, a ton of hindsight suggested Asaro was too brave, and there nothing more dangerous in boxing, than a brave referee.

    Harry Gibbs was having breakfast with a crowd, after the Frazier Foreman fight.Mercante was one of them.He asked Gibbs if he thought he had been late in stopping the fight, Gibbs said," since you ask ,yes."

    Asaro was out of his depth. He'd never worked a World Title fight before.

    Mills Lane acted like a dummy in the 2nd Holyfield vs Tyson fight. After the first bite Tyson should have been DQ'd end of fight. Mills let it continue and Holyfield got bitten a second time.
