This day in boxing. A look back.

I was sure just by some unworldly coincidence you'd pick the Hagler fight on my birthday. Great choice though, that fight took a bit out of Hector.

Had it been November 30th my friend.

Leonard/Benitez on the same date?

[Spicoli]

Arguably the left hooks that changed Camacho in approach and career, they cut the last two rounds off of scrap there? Damn shame how Thomas went out so young

[Master]

Not seen Camacho v Rosario but heard Macho Man was very defensive in his career after getting hurt in that fight.
