    A day late but how about Vince Phillips tko over Kostya Tszyu! Just insane to think that was 20 long years ago. Buster Douglas was born. Also on this historic day, yesterday , Simmie Black 34-165-4...no that's not a credit card number..actually won a fight vs some undefeated fighter .

    The atmosphere seemed electric when Hatton fought Kostya on that day in Manchester. Very rough and tough fight.

    6-6-88: Iran Barkley knocks out Tommy Hearns in the 3rd round of their first fight.

    Bless that Thomas Hearns. He was never in a dull fight.

    Always love this nugget of a huge upset. Barkley was basically paid peanuts. Still don't understand how Olajide got Barkley off his feet just prior but not Hearns who landed more than half his shots. Really a case of Hearns rolling right into a bomb.

    Barkley was getting tortured and destroyed in the ring and got very lucky. Tommy was on fire during that period blowing out most of his opponents.
