Cooney vs. Norton reminded me a lot of the ending of the Ray Mercer vs Tommy Morrison fight, WTF took the ref so long to stop it?Quote:

Taylor didn't fall apart until late in rematch and stood strong early with a few flashes of old self but it was a matter of time. What has alway bothered me about that one is that King and JCC just towed an obviously faded Taylor along, stuffing him on Chavez undercards where he was being hit clean by club fighters and then finally "made rematch" after Chavez bs rematch result with Randall. Insult to injury was Taylor going down in weight. It was like a short cut to 'redemption' and King trying to keep his faded meal ticket safe. Randall should have been an instant rematch...not 10 years later.
Assuming you meant an instant rubber match? Chavez did rematch Randall but hardly settled the score in that one, that was a bullshit TD where Randall had a point docked for an accidental butt. He was ahead on points regardles imo, although I haven't seen that one in forever.Quote:

One man's brutal beating is another man's pleasant satisfaction.
I loved Norris and Macho Man batter Leonard. :)
I hated seeing :
Gatti v Gomez
Tyson v Lewis
JCC v Oscar II
Honeyghan v Breland :eek:
Holmes/Tyson Duran/Joppy Tyson/Williams Louis/Marciano.
In a perfect world he would have settled "unfinished business" before naming the card with Taylor the same thing. I personally think Randall was on his way to a late tko or certain W there. Then King has the nerve to stand on live TV and say Randall should fight Pernell Whitaker and the winner would "get a fight with Julio"...after both pretty much had their way with him :pQuote:

Actually, I was surprised how many nice right hands found Oscar in their rematch. The only thing that seperated them (eventualy) was conditioning.Quote:

I've kinda come to the conclusion that there was a a fair amount of bla-ness about Delay Hoya, especially above 140.
Jeff Lacy taking a drubbing off Calzaghe, his corner were very brave Jeff taking all that punishment,
the shit bags. I can never understand people taking a fucking hiding over 12 rounds.:(
felt bad for Foreman when Holyfield landed 36 unanswered shots...........poor old guy---prime George woulda KILLED Evander. He took those shots from a prime Holy with grace and self-respect and held it together. Then almost put Holy down next round with a glancing left hook. Seriously....

I have the following fights but have never seen them:
Collins vs. Resto

I just can't be bothered to watch them. Maybe one day I will but it hasn't happened in the 7 yrs or so that I've had the fights.
Ray Mancini vs. Duk Koo Kim
Emile Griffith vs. Benny "Kid" Paret
Tyson vs. McBride
