Herol Graham's last attempt at a title against Charles Brewer. He was doing well up until that point.

Pac vs Jmm 4 i locked myself in the bathroom for 4 days drinking my own tears, when i finally got myself together i had lost 20lb.


Hatton's last hurrah vs Senchenko was sad to see. Most of Audley's fights have been difficult to watch, the Price fight in particular. He was on the canvas after a really hard KO and tha fans were chanting "you'r sh!t and you know you are", which was rather ruthless.

That sort of thing is disgusting! I know Audley has been a let down but you shouldnt be doing that shit after someone has been knocked out in that fashion.

Sweet Pea vs JCC.

From childhood I knew that boxing was infected with elements of corruption but this fight confirmed to me that it is corrupt at its core. It took me a decade to expend more time and energy than reading the very limited results covered in sports sections.

I finally came back out of respect and admiration for the skill, gifts and heart of the combatants.

The way i see it,world class boxers are in good company when it comes to fighters fighting on too long,so every cloud and all that.....take comfort in the fact that better fighters than themselves have been "embarassed" by opponents who had no right to share a ring with them in their pomp

I challenged you to back up your charge that most judges are crooked, and you've failed miserably.

Chavez/DLH bouts were extremely sad--not only because I really liked Chavez but because I really disliked DLH.

@Evander
It's a charge you can't substantiate after many pitiful attempts.
