My fight for this day,

1986: Hector Camacho v Edwin Rosario. Neither man would be the same even though Hector went on to reasonable success. It took a lot out of him. He was lucky to squeak this one out.




1908-Tommy Burns KO 8 Bill Squires. Retains World Heavyweight Title.

1935- James J. Braddock W 15 Max Baer. Wins World Heavyweight Title. Scoring: Referee McAvoy scored 9-5-1; Lynch 11-4; Kelly 7-7-1. One of the biggest upsets in boxing history and the fight in which the movie Cinderella Man is based.

1938- Charley Burley W 10 Fritzie Zivic.

1981- Marvelous Marvin Hagler KO 5 Vito Antuofermo. Retains World Middleweight Title. Fitting. I thought Marvin won the first fight and apparently so did Mills Lane. He told him to turn and face the camera so he could raise his arms when they made the call.

1986- Hector Camacho W 12 Edwin Rosario. Retains WBC Lightweight Title.
-Julio Cesar Chavez KO 7 Refugio Rojas. Retains WBC Super Featherweight Title.

1997- Dariusz Michalczewski W 12 Virgil Hill. Wins IBF & WBA Light Heavyweight Title. Out of all the guys that I wished could have been sorted out with Roy this guy was number 1.

1998:-Oscar DeLaHoya KO 3 Patrick Charpentier. Retains WBC Welterweight Title.
-Cesar Bazan W 12 Stevie Johnston.Wins WBC Lightweight Title.
-Freddie Norwood KO 8 Genaro Rios. Retains WBA Featherweight Title
