I think the brutal fights that Matthew Saad Muhammad had before this fight took a huge toll on him. He was always in big punch-a-thon fights. But, I didn't take nothing away from Dwight Braxton that day. He was terrific!

1, terribly sad fights for me. I'd never consider rewatching those ass whippings.

When I seen the votes I guessed you'd be the 1 star.

Yeah, I can't imagine anybody voting 10 has seen them.

Braxtons one of my favourites. I gave it an 8. I can understand why you'd not enjoy them.

Dwight is the man, but not sure he could have take Saad at his best.
