Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I was heart broken. I bet if he could do it all again he would have never left Graham and hired that clown.Originally Posted by Master

Fight of the day
2002: Diobelys Hurtado vs Randall Bailey
1900: James J. Jeffries KO 23 James J. Corbett, Coney Island. Retains World Heavyweight Title.(Durango Democrat)"The finishing blow came suddenly and was a startling surprise. Corbett had been making a wonderful battle. His defense was absolutely perfect, and while he was lacking in strength, he had more than held his own and stood an excellent chance of winning the fight had it gone the limit. He had not been badly punished and had managed to mark his man severely. The winning punch was a short left to the jaw. Corbett dropped like weight and was clear out. Jeffries showed his ability to take punishment at any distance and hard. He was clearly outboxed and at times was made to look like a novice. The crowd, which numbered fully eight thousand, was with Corbett and his defeat fell upon a silent crowd. There were cheers for him when he revived and left the ring, and he was generally given more consideration than the victor. Corbett is still a factor in pugilistic fame. He has regained much of his old time form. The battle was clean and it is doubtful if there was a single infraction of the rules."
