Re: Remember Ebo Elder vs. Courtney Burton?
Yeah, that fight ruined Ebo. I liked him. First time I saw him was when he handed Oscar Diaz his first loss in a beautiful exhibition. He'd been brought in as an opponent for the 17-0 Diaz - Ebo was considered done after a 1st round KO to tough journeyman Ubaldo Hernandez and then he took 2 years out to become a drummer in a New York band. He boxed rings around Diaz and I was hooked.
Burton was the fight that made him and broke him. He's still only 28 so maybe he'll come back again but I know that he and his father are mega-Christians and wanted to start their own church.
