Always wondered how many people took a bet on Buster like was he a 40 to 1 right mean if you through grand down just made 40 gs. That fight changed a lot of people lives that night and not just for boxing fans.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Tyson was a dirty fighter with some low blows and late punches and yet Bruno had a point deduction.Originally Posted by Beanz
Bruno took some bombs and did not have a glass jaw.
Tyson showed the first signs that his outside life was impacting on his performance in the ring.
I was listening to this fight on the radio as Tyson moved to sky from ITV.

Duran in top form here. Lampkin was left in a bad way but would resume career briefly. Can you imagine guys traveling for 15 rounds and fighting in that heat today.

That was one hell of a battle. Lampkin got the double whammy between the left hook on the button, and the exhaustion he must've been feeling by the 14th round.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
I love Vargas and that uppercut was a beauty that finished Ellis.

He was the most gifted fighter to come from the island consider him to Sugar Ray best win because it put him on the map after words he just stayed in the game way to long.

Yeah he did. Some of those later knockout losses he suffered were sooooooo unnecessary. Pity he didn't have someone keeping him from doing that. Age-old story.

That is an excellent historical video! 109 years ago and some things have not changed.
