Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Always wondered how many people took a bet on Buster like was he a 40 to 1 right mean if you through grand down just made 40 gs. That fight changed a lot of people lives that night and not just for boxing fans.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
That was one hell of a battle. Lampkin got the double whammy between the left hook on the button, and the exhaustion he must've been feeling by the 14th round.

Yeah he did. Some of those later knockout losses he suffered were sooooooo unnecessary. Pity he didn't have someone keeping him from doing that. Age-old story.
