Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Two June 9th personal favorites of mine:
1978: Larry Holmes vs. Ken Norton
Fight of the Year. The type of HW fight that made me so grateful when Klitschko-Joshua finally happened. THAT'S what we were missing, folks. I only put Round 15 in there, but the whole fight was terrific.

2007: Miguel Cotto vs. Zab Judah
Thoroughly enjoyed that fight. I posted a clip of the highlights which is great, if you can get past the background music.

Absolutely brilliant fight, shame about the injury, but Quiroga was on fire that night. Barn burner of a fight and an electric atmosphere.Originally Posted by greynotsoold

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Such a brutal brilliant fight. Short term Akeem was able to recover but suffered and Quiroga took some injury year and half later vs Borboa. He and Quiroga ironically suffered violent deaths far to young. Anifowoshe was supposed to do big things but that one really took permanent toll on both. Fought with 6 Oz gloves did them no favors and not sure that ever happened again.Absolutely brilliant fight, shame about the injury, but Quiroga was on fire that night.
