Lou Savarese vs James Buster Douglas
Savarese blows away a shot to sh1t Douglas away in a round of a non title Heavyweight fight, Douglas down 3 times, first knockdown Savarese set it up with a jab before coming over with a textbook right hand, another overhand right had Douglas down again and this time he was on shaky legs, Savarese landed a burst of punches as Douglas fell to the canvas for a third and final time
Roy Jones father wouldn't let him fight Douglas here.

Is that true aye? I'll tell you what Douglas could box when switched on, been watching a lot of him lately, I'd only ever seen the Tyson and Holyfield fights, his jab was superb, better than anyone around today

Yup, he did a demolition job on Mike Williams on the Tyson/spinks uc that's worth a look too. Very good fighter. Pissed me off when people kept comparing fat boy Ruiz to him.

Chris Eubank vs Gary Stretch
Eubank stops Stretch in the 6th to retain his World Middleweight title, messy start not a lot of clean work in the first couple rounds, Stretch was the aggressor but his tall southpaw style wasnt effective and he tied up and Eubank looked a bit crude and didnt look comfortable either, once things settled down it was Stretch who settled into things, he drew thr lead from Eubank and countered him with the right jab and hooks and was picking off Eubank with some nice shots
Eubank was looking confused but then Stretch lost a point in the 6th for persistently pushing Eubank to the canvas, later in the round Eubank
nailed Stretch with a straight right hand which rocked him onto his heels where Eubank unloaded both hands before forcing Stretch down, Stretch got up but he looked shook up, Eubank whacked him with a haymaker right hand and Stretch went down a second time and it was stopped

Chris Eubank vs Gary Stretch
That's a good call on the fight fella
Stretch was an interesting character as I recall...…he could definitely box a bit but was making better pennies as a male model and he was not just doing knitwear catalogue shoots either. He was making proper dough.
Went on to do some acting I think?
For a ramped up light middleweight given a WBO shot he actually gave Eubank a few moments and the fight had the potential to be one of those many fights where Eubank failed to shine/convince.
Feels kind of a pity Stretch did not return to Light Middle after a decent showing against Eubank at MW but he always had other, easier and just as profitable options I guess.

Yeh first time I've seen Stretch, I knew of him and that he'd fought Eubank for a World title but I'd only ever seen him in Dead Man's Shoes

Chris Eubank vs Thulani Malinga
Eubank's scrapes a SD to retain his World Super Middleweight title, not a great watch, the fight lacked quality for the most part, both men began cagey and were only throwing wild predictable shots that were missing, in the 5th Eubank dropped Malinga heavy with a peach of a right hand right at the end of the round, Malinga got up in wobbly legs but Eubank didn't have enough time to force a stoppage
Eubank was too slow coming out for the 6th and allowed Malinga to recover and even nail Eubank with a hard left hook which dipped his legs, after that Eubank seemed to gas and just back pedalled for most of the rest of the fight, Malinga was thr one pressing, he wasnt landing much but Eubank was doing next to nothing and the fight just kinda petered out, i wouldnt have complained if Malinga got the nod, apart from dropping Malinga and hurting him in that 5th, Eubank was poor, he tired without setting much of a pace

I remember watching this live, I'm pretty sure that Lionel Blair was ringside as Gary Stretch was dating his daughter.

Gary could box more than a bit and I think I saw his British title fight with Wormald at the time....
…..a 6-ft light middle who had had a good, stiff jab and could move a bit (but was not too dangerous) and had a bit of a back story and had won a belt was right Eubank's street
If I remember things correctly he upset Eubank's always fragile ego a bit as well.....like Milpool said, lots of glam folk were rooting for Stretch to win the fight and the headline writers did the whole Beauty v The Best thing as well.

Riddick Bowe vs Jorge Luis Gonzalez
Boy, when Bowe was good he was so very good! His jab and inside fight game were on display throughout this fight. May have been the last time we saw a prime Bowe and the first time since he lifted the belts from Holyfield.

Don't think I ever did. Bowe wasn't hard to hit, so I wouldn't say Wilder would lose.

Found this between us a while ago. Once again you make up facts.
You: just wondering what round do you have wlder blasting out a prme bowe? would he beat the sttverne 2nd try time?
Me: 4 rounds. (geez man...I'm guessing as much as you, we have no idea and to pretend we do is just ludicrous.) None of this talk matters. What matters is what happens in the ring. Geez I can't wait for Wilder/Joshua so all the banter will stop. Once in a while I get a fair response, but most times, folk are too much of fanatics.

lmao because wilder is 40-0 (39) we have to pick him to destroy bowe? come on man! reality is that deontay has beaten like 2 top 10 fighters his whole career, and one of them nearly stopped him and shouldve been comfortably up on the cards.
and i like wilder a lot, but some of the stuff in here is truly laughable. 'clear as a bell'? , omfg
IMAO, yes. Wilder destroys Bowe.

When you have a really big hitter like Wilder.... And you match him with a guy you can sucker punch like Bowe???
It's like Lewis-Golota..... or Tyson-Williams.... or Dempsey Fulton.... or Tua-Ruiz... or Tua Moorer.... or McCall-Maskaev
Clear as a bell (no pun intended). Bowe had three positive performance, all against a very game overblown Cruiserweight. The Golota fights were a joke. He was totally exposed (save the low-blows). No contest here.
or from another thread

Still can't find me saying round one. Good to see you're still the pettyweight champ Jam! LMFAO! Stop cluttering up threads with your nonsense.

And it was really just a question of whether you'd changed your views on Wilder absolutely wrecking prime Bowe early, was just wondering, as you seemed way more positive about RB here than in the past

I reposted the four round post myself. You can thank me all you want, but you quoted me as saying round one. That is a complete fabrication. You seem to do that very often. Exaggerate a posters points. Not sure why you have the need to do that. Let's end this and stop cluttering up a terrific thread.
(now you can make a new thread on Bowe/Wilder).

No it was you being your obnoxious self. Had you merely asked me if I changed my mind about Wilder taking out Bowe within four I'd have answered yes. Bowe wasn't hard to find. But it wasn't what you posted.

It's above there---you clearly said you think Wilder destroys a prime Bowe 'very early' , within 4 rounds, and it's 'no contest'. That's all right there, even if you wish it wasn't . Sure, maybe I got your KO1 prediction mixed up with Kalan's, true, my bad!
But my question was really getting wether you still are so unimpressed by Bowe and still think he'd get wrecked. What's your prediction now?

Bowe's great trilogy with Holy was styles and Holy not having that huge KO power. Wilder would take Bowe out. Fury's dominance over Wilder is due to Fury being Fury. Wilder is still a very dangerous puncher. If you'd like, I'll make yet another post saying that. I never denied saying any of that. I denied your post saying I said one round. That is what i take exception to. You do that way too much.

You said Wilder would destroy prime Bower very early, within 4 rounds, and that it'd be no contest
You did NOT say that he would KO prime Bowe in 1 round
Thanks for the answer, that's all I was wondering really
