Yeha

I thought Thomas Hearns and Billy Conn were robbed.

It was 96-94 to Hearns all day long, pretty clear cut. Still could have been worse, id have been in real tears if Robinson got that decision.

Hearns recent form has been good actually, was surprised you were so critical in your write up.

It was noted. So very noted.

Not that I didn't enjoy reading it , just thought you were being a big meanie.

How the hell does Pep win on a TKO when five seconds earlier the ref rules the cut on a clash of heads?

No Shit!, what a joke. should be a No Contest
