‘Rage At The River’

Joey Spina: “Everybody says the same thing. They call me ‘KO Kid’ because I almost always knockout my opponent. Check my resume; I’ve fought a lot of good guys. I’m going to knock him (Taylor) out. I just bite down on my mouthpiece – bite and fight. Boxing’s boxing; I’m a fighter…bite down and swing!”

Tiwon Taylor: “It’s going to be a tremendous showdown. I don’t know about this KO stuff, I did not come here to be knocked out, lay-down or even be delayed. They gave me two months notice – I thank them – it’s the most time I’ve ever had and I’m in great shape. I’m 6’ 1” but got a 7-foot punch.” More...
