If SRR beat Maxim.

[Bill Paxtom]

He is the greatest ever and to win the fight would only cement it.

A flawless welterweight becoming undisputed light heavy champ would be amazing.

The ref had to be substituted says how hot it must have been.

"The Hottest Day Ever in New York City"

103* at Fight Time {9:00 PM} at Yankee Stadium in The Bronx, New York.

New York was going thru a brutal 'hot-and-soggy' heat spell that week.

It never cooled down during the Fight, and the Temperature in the Ring {under the lights}
actually went up to 108*.
