As was to be expected, last night's Taylor-Spinks fight was TOTALLY outshined by the Pavlik-Miranda barnburner of a fight. Everyone expected it..... and it happened. In actuality, the main event was doomed from the start. Once people take in a spectacle like the war between "Pantera" and "The Ghost", it's hard to be satisfied with a mediocre main event. Too bad the stands were only half-filled for the first fight (Lampley mentioned the "disappointing" turnout), with many people waiting for the main event.
Which leads to the question: What other main events in recent history have been totally outdone by the preceding fights? I know there's been a few, although right now none come to mind.
