Fight of the day x 2

1977: Eddie Gazo vs Koichi Wajima


1992: Zack Padilla vs Carlos Gonzalez



1938: Lou Ambers D 10 Baby Arizmendi, Los Angeles.

“Baby Arizmendi upset many an apple from the cart last night when he battled lightweight champion Lou Ambers to a draw in a wild 10 round non-title fight before 10,000 screaming fans at the Olympic Auditorium. After eight rounds of fighting, with seldom a let up, Arizmendi tore into the champ in the 9th and carried on as they fought after the bell. Again in the 10th he was crowding the weaving, hooking New Yorker when he suddenly pulled up with the left side of his face covered with blood. He claimed Ambers had butted him and the bout was halted momentarily for examination. Ambers, a 3-1 favorite over the Baby, said after the fight he felt sluggish and couldn’t get started. “Referee Jack Kennedy had a habit after eight rounds of a contest of announcing his scorecard up to that point in the bout, which was 4-3-1 in favor of Ambers. Unofficial AP scorecard – 5-4-1 Ambers

December 9th 2006 - Danny Williams v Audley Harrison II

I remember Danny coming in at short notice and clearly wasn't in any shape, he was slouched on his stool before the fight began

real big mistake for him I think, signalled the beginning of the end, he'd been out of shape against skelton the fight before too

was a decent card all together tho, Kel Brook, Amir Khan, Wayne Alexandra, Nicky Cook, Paul Mclousky, Anthony Crolla, Denton Vassell

and I cant believe it was 10 years ago
