About 15 years ago I was watching a fight, and after the first round, I thought "man, I gotta tape this!" The fight was Mark Smith vs. Hector Monjardin, and it was REALLY entertaining! To this day I'll pop the tape in while I'm working out.
The commentators kept repeating how good a fight it is, and how good the two fighters were, despite their less-than-stellar records.
Looking at Mark Smith's record, he went 15-0 in his first year as a pro (1990). But then he lost most of his fights over the next 6 years, and retired in '97, with a record of 21-25 (!)
I've only seen him in the one fight (against Monjardin), but he was really slick and had good power.
Two questions:
1. Anyone know more about Mark Smith? http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hu ... &cat=boxer
2. Does anyone happen to have the first round of the fight on tape :)
