OMG! Horrible! Comical! Even the announcers must've been in on it.

That was an honest enough first effort. First time I'd seen it (tho it was so forgettable, I could be wrong there...). Didn't he just have one and pack it in?
I'm gonna look and see what bill this was on....I'm thinking possibly Hatton-Senchenko...

It just goes to show that boxing, like most sports, needs to be worked at. You need time to learn how to box, it may look easy when you see the pros but it‘s not. Even just throwing the right needs practice.

Well I loved it and I'd pay to see Deontay Wilder open the batting at Lords too.

I've looked up this bill and it turns out it was headed by Denton Vassell vs. Ronnie Heffron in a Commonwealth title fight, won by Vassell.
Vassell went on to lose to Frankie Gavin, by TKO, in his next fight the following year.
He boxed for something called the Central Area super-welterweight title as recently as June this year (a weight category I thought we called light-middleweight in Britain), losing in 2 to a Lithuanian out of Hull, Evaldas Korsakas, who was 8-5-2 at the time...
