Barry McGuigan v Eusebio Pedroza A dominant title-winning performance from McGuigan. Pedroza was experienced enough to survive to the final bell...

From L to R: Beau Jack, Sandy Saddler, Carmen Basilio, Kid Gavilan?, Ingemar Johansen, Gene Fullmer, Bob Foster, Ken Norton, George Chuvalo, Joe...
Rodrigo Valdez v Bennie Briscoe 2 This was a war. Briscoe started fast and forced the pace but Valdez responded in kind and the two just went...
I remember watching Matlala a couple of times back in the day but can't for the life of me remember who he was fighting - almost certainly a UK...
To be honest, I found it no less thrilling than Floyd's other fights. When I watched it live I genuinely thought Oscar was in it all the way to...
Ruben Olivares could have benefitted from a junior featherweight class in the early-mid 70s.
Thank God someone's got their head screwed on the right way round!
I had it to Zarate by 2 points. It was very close and could have gone either way.
I actually thought he'd died a while back. RIP Leon.
Sumbu Kalambay v Herol Graham 1 and 2 Watched both of these, or at least as much as I could find of the first fight, which was missing 5 rounds...
One of those guys could have been an all-time top 10 flyweight if they'd only fought each other.
Have I missed my window on this @George Crowcroft? Was just thinking, how about boxing's greatest comebacks?
Simon Brown v Maurice Blocker Good fight and an underrated (at least by me) unification fight that passed me by previously. Blocker was winning...
Q Tip was the best emcee and I don't think it's particularly close. Also, Q and Phife were a better emcee combo than Pos and Trugoy. They had that...

Nah, I used to have an accent when I was younger and lived in Macclesfield but moved down south when I was still young so lost it pretty quick.
Manchester Met but the campus in Stoke on Trent.
Just watched Holyfield-Tyson 1 for the first time since the night of the fight. That took me all the way back to the Student Union bar of a...
It showed Hearns' versatility and Benitez's weaknesses in equal measure. I had it wide for Hearns.
Honestly, I could never get into Pac. Biggie was miles better in my view.
Watched Hearns-Benitez - safe to say Gomez-Pintor was the fight of the night.
Alright stop what ya doin' coz I'm about to ruin the image and the style that you're used to
For me it's ones you listened to a lot. Now I barely listen to hip hop but I'd still class those albums as my favourites.
Yeah, I think it was the year a lot of those underground MCs from New York broke through - The Wu being the most obvious but you also had Fat Joe,...

Every line of that one is quotable. Great tune.

On its own merits Buhloone Mind State is a good album but compared with the other stuff coming out in '93, including Midnight Marauders, it didn't...
