Copyright infridments Horse. Due to a number of reasons from ring walk music or simply because the copyright holder does not want it up. When I had my channel i was forever having issues, thats why I took it down.

I was at this fight live, on the night I scored it quite closely to Hamed but later on HBO scored it way wider. My mates and I were a bit baffled by the scores and managed to bump into Buffer in some club round the corner, he said he scored it "wide for Hamed 'cos of his power punches". Never really come across many people that scored it too closely other than those in arena.

hamed wasn't impressive that night. And pissed a lot of people off.

Should've been a great fight, on paper.

I remember Naz's ring entrance that night. He sauntered through a graveyard or something :lol:

The fight itself was a bit of a let down, if I remember, Especially his previous US bout against Kelley.

Yeah the entrance was more memorable than the fight itself. I remember initially the gravestones were supposed to have the names of his previous title defences on but it was deemed distasteful..

Naz is a man of god & men of god NEVER do anything distasteful, if you discount slavery, war, child sex abuse, genocide, etc etc :confused:

the ref never even looked back at Sanchez, he just pulled Naz away waving the fight off without a count, he must have known those punches were finishing shots as they were landing

Yes that was a terrific, albeit messy, little shootout.
