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

This was Tyson's second comeback fight. Stewart recently died too.

12th December 2012 was a decent night of boxing

I watched the Groves v Johnson, Saunders v Blackwell card

there was also shaun porter v diaz and khan v Molina, which I definitely saw, must have been the day after though

Can we make this thread a Sticky?

2001, Holyfield v Ruiz and Ricky Hatton defended his WBU title

2001, Holyfield v Ruiz and Ricky Hatton defended his WBU title

Ricky got tired of defending the title and wanted to face real champions. If Warren had his way Ricky would still be defending the title now.

thing is tho, while Ricky had that title, for a short while at least, the WBU were getting noticed

there were a few of those belts hanging around

obviously it was never a world title, but for a while they were threatening to be recognised
