Tough fight with Joe Frazier, but Holyfield gives as good as he got, and records a draw, and his 1st successful title defense of the WBO Title. I tell you I think the ref should've stopped that fight due to Joe's eye. Joe will have vision problems going forward this season due to the Doctor's reckless behavior in letting him continue here.

[DrDuke]

Huck brutally avenged his unlucky loss to Vitali on his brother!

[BoxBuzz]

How does a Cruiser beat a Heavy? Wamba show's you how it's done with Walcott as the victim. Performed in style.

Something a fella like Jirov, fell short of getting accomplished this week. Jirov is fading......Wamba.....just warming up.


This is how we do.
