Ok It has something to do with drugs or alcohol use.

Too bad for Pablo Cesar Cano, It would've been a solid win for his record!

Thank you very much for the information.
But I don't know anything about that California Rule either?

Why is this fight not listed as a decision win for Pablo Cesar Cano in BoxRec?

Far Away Places "I see the Crimea voted to be a part of Russia,"said Ed the bartender watching the news on the television behind the bar. "It was pretty one sided,"I said swirling the swizzle stick in the glass of club soda in front of me. "You said 400,000 Ukrainians fough...

Iain Butcher won the fight with Kevin Satchell, but then he was robbed by a unjust hometown decision!

REMATCH Lopez vs Vargas !

I like Jeffries by KO. I think he was tougher then Liston if compared equally in all aspects. The Old-time experts raved about Jeffries for decades after his retirement, and Sonny was no all around great like Jack Johnson.

Maybe I was watching with my brit tinted glasses on but I though he did enough.

Blind people may think he won the 12th. McCloskey got the same gift Mike McTigue got in the 20's against Battling Siki

Yes Prescott was robbed, McCloskey was outboxed and barely still on his feet in the 12th.
Prescott tired but he amassed enough points to win if the bout was judged fairly, which it wasn't!

I'm looking forward to Haye getting trounced by either or both Klitschko brothers !

OK, I stand corrected.

Is the San Juan Center in the South End of Hartford?No, I don't think so. I've been to the Jeffrey P. Dressler Arena, watching amateurs. I saw fights at the Columbia Music Hall too, probably before your time.

I'm from Simsbury, Connecticut. Born in Hartford. John

I think it was in the assembly hall and you were sitting with some of your entourage, greeting the fans.

I agree with you all. I'm reading 'Billy Conn The Pittsburgh Kid' by Paul F. Kennedy right now. Great book for fight coverage of Conn's career.

Another fight that might have been something bigger would be Billy Conn versus Tiger Jack Fox.

Mike that was 1990...I know this becaue the photo I took with him was taken the NIGHT BEFORE he went to Buckland Mall... How about that! John, I saw a few of your early fights live and even once said to you something like "Be another Harry Greb" You said "I've heard of him" in r...

Yes, I met him once when he was on a promotion tour for his own brand of cologne (seriously), at Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester,Connecticut in the early 90's. Muhammad was signing memorabilia at a table and when the line got to me I said to him "God Bless you champ" and at that, he stoo...

A interesting matchup, any opinions on the outcome?

I liked Bonavena but Ali the boxer stopped him late. Frazier the swarming style fighter decisioned him and Foreman the big puncher would have tkoed him like he did Chuvalo, would have taken him a little longer than Chuvalo because Chuvalo was more of a catcher than Bonavena.

How good was Charley Retzlaff really? From his record he seems to have been a power puncher who was blown out of the ring in his big chance against Joe Louis in 1936. I read that Jack Blackburn, Louis's trainer had trained Retzlaff at one point and was wary of him beforehand in his matchup against L...

OK, Maybe Scotty Olson wasn't as good as I thought he was. His fights that I saw were entertaining anyway. I stand corrected.

Outstanding

Not even in the top 200 ?

I don't see Scotty Bulldog Olson of Canada in the top 100 flyweights of all time or the top 200 of BoxRecs alltime rankings am I missing his name in there? Surely he belongs.
