    I would have loved to have seen Solly Krieger and Al Hostak fight.

    Fight of the day

    2007: Joe Calzaghe vs Mikkel Kessler



    1899: James J. Jeffries W 25 (Sailor) Tom Sharkey, Coney Island, NY. Retains World Heavyweight Title.

    1930: Fidel La Barba W 10 Kid Chocolate, NYC. By all accounts Kid Chocolate was schooled in front of 20,000 at MSG. He was a big favourite going in.

    1933: (Slapsie) Maxie Rosenbloom W 15 Mickey Walker, NYC. Retains World Light Heavyweight Title.
    Referee Eddie Forbes voted for Walker, “to the surprise of everybody who learned of this vote before they left the Garden. The referee’s ballot, however, was not considered in the decision because of the unanimity of the two judges. Under the State Athletic Commission rules, when the judges agree their vote carries the decision…. Forbes said after the battle that he warned Rosenbloom repeatedly for holding, hitting on the break and striking with the open glove.”
    New York Times

    -Henry Armstrong D 10 Kid Moro, Pismo Beach, CA.
    “The 10-round bout between Henry Armstrong, 130, Los Angeles and Kid Moro, 130, Philippines, ended in a draw at Pismo Beach last night after a state commissioner present reversed a referee’s decision in favor of Armstrong. The referee, Freddie Gilmore, was given police protection as protests of fans ended in a near riot.”
    (Reno Gazette).

    1934: Baby Arizmendi W 10 Henry Armstrong, Mexico City. From what I have gathered over the years, its pretty clear to me that Arizmendi boxed Armstrongs ears off. Some reports suggest that he won every round with superior boxing skills. Arizmendi was not heavy handed and chose boxing over bravado finishing his career with just 13 knockouts. Not the typical Mexican warrior. What made this win even more amazing is that Arizmendi broke his left wrist in the second round. He turned pro at age 13. Great fighter that rarely gets mentioned because of the stacked era he fought in.

    1939: Sammy Angott W 10 Baby Arizmendi, Chicago.

    1973: Arnold Taylor KO 14 Romeo Anaya, Johannesburg. Wins WBA Bantamweight Title.

    1979: Jim Watt KO 9 Roberto Vasquez, Glasgow. Retains WBC Lightweight Title.


    1984: Billy Costello W 12 Saoul Mamby, Kingston, NY. Retains WBC Super Lightweight Title.
    -Jose Luis Ramirez KO 4 Edwin Rosario, San Juan. Wins WBC Lightweight Title.
    -Juan (Kid) Meza KO 1 Jaime Garza, Kingston, NY. Wins WBC Super Bantamweight Title. Upset of the year. Garza enters the bout with a 40-0 thirty eight ko record.

    2001: Juan Carlos Gomez KO 6 Pietro Aurino, Lubek, Germany. Retains WBC Cruiserweight Title.
    -Kostya Tszyu KO 2 Zab Judah, Las Vegas. Wins vacant World Super Lightweight Title. Unifies WBC, WBA & IBF super lightweight titles.

    2007: Joe Calzaghe W 12 Mikkel Kessler, Cardiff, Wales. Retains World Super Middleweight Title. Referee: Mike Ortega | judge: Raul Caiz 117-111 | judge: John Stewart 116-112 | judge: Massimo Barrovecchio 116-112.
    -Juan Manuel Marquez W 12 Rocky Juarez, Tucson, Arizona. Retains WBC Super Featherweight Title.
    Robert Guerrero KO 1 Martin Honorio, Tucson, Arizona. Retains IBF Featherweight Title.

    I read some place that, at the last press conference before the fight, Meza told garza he was going to knock Garza out early, in order to conserve energy for sex with Garza's mother later in the evening. Garza lost his mind and went after Meza, got so mad he threw up. He was still mad when he got in the ring and fought wild. Though he always fought pretty much all out.

    Zab getting knocked out and Calzaghe beating Kessler what a great day. Did not know anything about Baby Arizmendi.
