Kiyoshi Tanabe stopping Horacio Accavallo, then working with the legendary Eddie Townsend for a matter of weeks whilst preparing for a rematch with Accacallo for the WBA Flyweight title...then needing to retire before that rematch took place due to an eye injury.

:TU: Same with Oscar. Screwed over again.

Useless fact of the day.....Pernell got the "Sweet Pea" moniker by mistake when a clueless journo mis-typed it
instead of his real Sweet Pete nickname. It stuck.

Not only unfair but scandolous, RJJ in South Korea.

Hasim Rahman not getting that huge pay day vs Tyson after he beat Lewis (rematch clauses seemed new then).
Rahman turned down a huge HBO contract to fight Lewis and make the Tyson fight after.

Hearns getting screwed in the Leonard rematch after waiting all those years was brutal. He only got it because they thought he was shot and I'm pretty sure they boiled him down to 62.
