RJJ has a great victory against Tommy Loughran to win the belt a few weeks back. After that, he seemed to fall off a cliff. Really crazy fight outcome, how dominant Dawson was.
Shuffleshits applauds Langford! The IBO has been practically elevated to a major title from him and Moore!
I think Spinks had a good amount of easy defenses. It caught up to him here against a live opponent.
