    It was on ESPN Friday or Wednesday NF last year or the year before. I just know there was a black guy who was knocked down a few times early and then came back to win by Ko in the 4th or 5th round.

    Is Jake still here, he has unbelievable memory and needs minimum info to figure it out.

    I'm just going to guess and say this is the Johnathon Banks-Eliseo Castillo fight. Banks is trained by Manny Steward. I think the fight was in NY on WNF.

    Which fight was this? It happened somewhere in 80s or it could have been 90s too. The other guy was taller than the other and ne of them had red trunks. I am not sure who won but it was a nice fight. Can anyone help?

    Vinny "The Punch" Johnson vs. Maxie "Pad" Rosenbloom at the Elk's Lodge in Boise, ID. It was the walkout bout of the night.

    There was this Fight on the Spanish Channel...WOW!!!:eeeek: ...

    This 1 Guy wore a Sombrero to the Ring, the Other Guy had a Mariachi Band...1 Guy Had Mexican Flag Trunks, the Other Guy just had Red, White & Green Trunks...

    They Stood Toe-to-Toe for Most of the Fight, but the Spanish Speaking Guy Ended Up Winning...

    Any Ideas???:dunno: ...

    Or How about the Fight w/the 2 Bald Black Dudes w/Good Handspeed, from a Couple Years Ago???...It was more of a TACTICAL Fight, Somewhat of a Stinker, but Surely SOMEBODY Remembers it???

    believe it or not, that was the ONLY fight I could think of when reading the post. glad to see I'm not the only geek in the house :lol:

    banks showed a little something in that fight, but has been disgustingly protected ever since. I say it like that, only because oh so many still look at him as a viable threat to the cruiserweight crown.
