This day in boxing. A look back.

@IamInuit you are just picking on Terry Norris.

That fight was strange. Norris wins 9 out of 10 times against Brown but this just have been the one. To be fair it was a good fairy tale story. Always liked Simon Brown.

Hey ftr I was no fan of Simon Brown. He was supposed to be an introduction to the world and the step up for Shawn O'Sullivan and instead ruined my year in 1986

1986 was when I became an avid fan. Mike Tyson became youngest heavyweight champion and destroyed all!
