Re: HW Season Week 5 fights 25-32
there was something for everyone here......close fights that could go either way, upsets, come from behind KO's, a Draw and even a DQ......crazy week.

Re: HW Season Week 5 fights 25-32
it was a close fight that could have gone either way in my opinion, Liston fought his ass off and Dempsey seemed to take his foot of the gas in parts of the fight and that led to the upset victory for Liston.
Re: HW Season Week 5 fights 25-32
Jeffries tough luck continues. Up going into the last round and gets KO'd with 3 seconds left. Hats off to Langford.
Gomez with a nice win for the camp at least.

Re: HW Season Week 5 fights 25-32
Proud of the efforts of all my guys.
Ken Norton dispatched the big oaf Primo Carnera
Evander Holyfield fought valiantly, and in MY opinion deserved the nod, but he left it too close. Nevertheless he showed Tyson doesn't intimidate him, and he more than held his own. The time will come when we meet again, and Tyson already knows he can't handle an improved Holyfield which is what he's gonna be facing. Sleep tight Mike, the boogeyman's gonna come back haunting later on.
And as for my man James...what can I say? Got knocked down, got a little discouraged, but showed his veteran ring savvy and outboxed the bigger, stronger Tommy Morrison.
He must admit though, that fight was a little tougher than he'd like so he'll probably be shifting his focus back down to the Cruiserweights for the time being.
James' record against the Heavyweights though. 1-0

Look at that....Wamb gets disqualified by a rogue ref......and Jirov gets the nod after a very good scrap.
Well, next time around ...they meet again this coming week.....let's see how it all ends up...
