I was hyped about this fight although it turned out to be a mismatch but I wanted Norris to shine.

James Toney was suspended for 90 days and fined $10,000 after testing positive for steroids following his victory over John Ruiz.
Toney explained he had gone on a cheeseburger binge, and one of them must've been tainted.

Great day to look back at one of the best fighters hardly ever mentioned and a helluva fight. Both Raton Jimenez and Too sharp Johnson had championships and great runs in their futures, love seeing action at the Great Western Forum again.

Marvelous Marvin Hagler was born on this day 23 MAY 1954
Carlos Zarate was born on the same day in 1951
In 1922 Harry Greb W 15 Gene Turnney, NYC Wins U.S Light Heavyweight Title. Tens seconds into the first round Greb breaks Tunneys nose, then later in the same round opens a huge gash over Tunney's left eye, then in the third round busts up Tunney's right eye. Over 15 rounds Tunney lost an estimated 2 quarts of blood. The blood was so thick on Grebs gloves he had to step back and hold them out so that referee Kid Partland could wipe them with a towel.
Benitez fought Hope in 1981 for the WBC light middle weight title - below

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Good find, Beanz.
Every time I see Benitez fights I can't help but think about how he is today.
The remarkable thing about the Maurice Hope fight is that Benitez was not known so much for his punching power, as for his defensive wizardry.
Yet his KO over Hope was devastating.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
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
