    I've felt sorry for Arturo Gatti for almost every fight he's been in for the past two years or so.

    Lennox Lewis in the first fight against Evander Holyfield....and I was rooting for Evander.

    Jeff Fenech after the first fight with Azumah Nelson.

    Arturo Gatti a couple days ago.

    Hasim Rahman against David Tua the first time. Although I thought Rahman won the rematch, I can't feel sorry for someone who gets that fat for a prizefight.

    David Reid's last fight was pretty hard to watch. Reid was BEYOND shot, not that he was ever anything special to begin with, but he had NOTHING left in his last fight, and was getting wobbled by jabs.

    Felt bad for Taylor at the end of the first Chavez fight.

    Felt kinda bad for Vargas in the Mosley rematch. Shane was just taking target practice on him, Vargas looked like a shell of himself.

    Seeing Tyson lose to that bum Williams was heart breaking. I couldnt even watch the McBride fight.

    Baldmomir against Fraud - The look on his face was anger. He wanted to fight but he knew Fraud was going to run all night. The crowd was angry too and half the crowd was gone by the 12th round. I felt sorry for them the most.

    Felt bad for Pea after getting royally fucked against Chavez!

    Felt bad for Lummox after getting fucked in the first Holy fight, even though I'm not even a Lewis fan.

    I feel bad for Ebo Elder when he looks in the mirror.

    I felt bad for Golota in the Tyson fight. Damn he had a bad night! Got his ass kicked for 2 rounds, quit, got all types of shit thrown at him walking back to his locker room, then stuttered his way through a painful interview with Jim Gray.

    I felt sorry for Carlos Navarro this past weekend against Derrick Gainer, he won at least 7 outta 10 rountds easily and they took the fight from him, that hurted like they took the fight from me, my stomach was upset all that night, since I watched that, I am going to die trying to knock everyone out, because you never know if you are going to catch the bad end of the stick!!
