Reid was just old and past it versus Lacy....
Had they fought in there prime Lacy wouldnt have been able to do that to him

Walker and Clarke were out of their respective depths in these matches. All the 'seasoning' in the world (and they both had plenty) wouldn't have altered those results..

Fernando Montiel - Mark 'Too Sharp' Johnson
Montiel was mesmorised that night be has come back well since...
It was sad to see a faded Johnson struggle on the Vargas-Mosely undercard. In his day he was just awesome. A genuine first ballot HOF'er.

I tuly believe that Toney was severly weight weakened here, hence his under whelming performance.
Jones would have almost certainly beaten Toney on his best day, as his speed would have always given the Ann Arbour bad boy real troubles, but I think Toney could have given a far better showing on another night.

The Ritchie Wenton massacre was also like watching a car crash.

Holligan showed himself to be a legitimate tough guy that night. He took a fierce shellacking.
He came up against a guy who mirror himself in terms of style but was just SOO much better.
