'Best Defensive Effort in a Losing Cause'

December 3, 1982

Wilfred Benitez against Thomas Hearns.

Wilfred {Age; 24 years, 2 months} was not given much of a chance to
last the distance against 'The Hit Man'.

But, on defense alone, Wilfred not only lasted the 15-Round distance,
but he kept the bout much closer than anybody thought.

Jimmy YOung vs Ali

I like the way you think.

That 'bloated whale' didn't land a single clean punch on Jimmy.

YOung schooled Ali that night in Landover, Maryland. I saw the fight live on ABC with Howard Cosell commentating. It was a highway robbery.

Pernell Whittaker vs JC Chavez or De la Hoya?

Calling that "draw" a loss still irks me

Pat Cowdell losing a split verdict to Salvador Sanchez over 15 rounds.

Pat did put on a good defensive effort. Near brilliant against a great boxer.
