    Check those legs twitching.

    Guy getting stopped is none other than Dingaan Thobela, who some years after this fight fought Baldomir to a draw {thus bettering the result achieved by Judah and Gatti} before winning the 168lb title from Glenn Catley and dropping subsequent decisions to Davey Hilton and Mikkel Kessler.

    Guy doing the stopping is Geoff McCreesh, a former British 147lb champ.


    Super 6 Indeed. :lol:

    McCreesh only had a handful of 12 round pro fights. Why's this?

    Years ago, I used read reports of McCreeshs fights in Boxing Monthly and they were always mentioning some "Family Tragedy" he had suffered.....I never got any more information on that but apparently the guy had what could be described as an atypical career, including a cluster of disqualifications early in his career and then a run in with the BBBofC over a failed drug test.
