    I know Bonecrusher lost every round to Frank, but in the final round he stopped him in he landed like 25 unanswered power shots

    Certainly could have been an incontinence inducing beating but how can you be sure?

    Trinidad-Vargas often comes up in these conversations. I’m 50-50 on that one.

    Mercer-Morrison for sure.

    Whitaker-Hurtado was a dangerous one, imo. Sweet Pea got about a dozen free shots unanswered there.

    It was, but i guess because it was also "against the run of play" the ref was slower to react.

    In This Vein, was Pryor-Arguello I the Perfectly TIMED Stoppage? A Violent (Enough) Ending That Would’ve Become EXCESSIVE w/1 or 2 More Landed Shots…

    The last knockdown in Trinidad-Vargas was unnecessary. Fernando was done after the 2nd KD of the 12th.

    RJJ-Hall was so bad that Larry Merchant said that the ref should get pistol whipped as punishment.

    Mercer-Morrison, Whitaker-Hurtado,
    Alex Garcia-Bernard Benton






    One thing that made Whitaker-Hurtado so bad was that Whitaker was taking his time on his punches. He was taking his time and loading up on each left hand. This gave Mercante Jr so much time step in, but Arthur just stood there
