Yeah he fought Khan and beat up Paul Loyd earlier in his career. Think it was a world title bout?Boxerbeetle wrote:Guessing you don't mean the Khan fight?Parson Cross wrote:Acelino Freitas.

The Lloyd fight was an absolute massacre, possibly the most one-sided round I've ever seen.Stuarty30 wrote:Yeah he fought Khan and beat up Paul Loyd earlier in his career. Think it was a world title bout?Boxerbeetle wrote:Guessing you don't mean the Khan fight?Parson Cross wrote:Acelino Freitas.

Re: Favourite international export?
Zack Page has fought over here a few times, got absolutely robbed against Tom Dallas (when Dallas was undefeated) I was gutted for him.

I was at the Scott Harrison v Victor Polo fight that ended in a draw! Total shambles! Polo was robbed blind that night!digzee wrote:Zack Page has fought over here a few times, got absolutely robbed against Tom Dallas (when Dallas was undefeated) I was gutted for him.

I saw the fight before, live, he absolutely pounded Richie Wenton for the vacant title. Fair play to Wenton, he was never quite the same after the Stone fight although he did pick up a couple of decent wins.Boxerbeetle wrote:The Lloyd fight was an absolute massacre, possibly the most one-sided round I've ever seen.Stuarty30 wrote:Yeah he fought Khan and beat up Paul Loyd earlier in his career.

I saw that Hearns fight live, was slightly surreal watching an old legend jiggling around against a semi-decent world beater who just didn't get out of first gear all fight or put up any sort of decent argument. Was slightly unedifying to watch, particularly in a cold, draughty and empty MEN arena (or was it the Nynex then?) at 1am.

Fosters career went rapidly downhill after that fight. Never beat anyone of note since.Naandrew wrote:Yeah Steve Foster Jr absolutely destroyed him though he will have been getting on then.Stuarty30 wrote:Yeah he was a hardy guy!

I watch the Barrera Lloyd fight every time I'm in a foul mood, seems to cheer me right up! Barrera was devastating that night.
I think Zolani Tete was quality when he beat Paul Butler, really enjoyed that fight. Choi also entertained, always rooted for him.

Barrera was a beast in his early days wasn't he?
One of the most vicious body punchers i've ever seen during the first half of his career.
Gave richie wenton from liverpool a good hiding as well.

This. Sergio Martinez also well worth a mention from his early/mid career victories over here.banjo wrote:Choi Tseveenpurev
Katsidis explosive over here against Earl & Mitchell, not so much against Burns and C***e
Re: Favourite international export?
That first fight with Derry was horrible to watch! but enjoyed Choi's style made up he got revenge of sorts in PFbanjo wrote:Choi Tseveenpurev
Marsili who boxed Derry was also very good not suprising none of or LW went down the EBU title route despite our abundence of them!
I like Khomitskey alot won a few quid on him in the Etches and Buglioni fights also had Jones at 5-1 to stop Rose but i cant see him doing it in the return unfortunatley!

Not to be pedantic - but shouldn't the title of this thread be.
