Favorite Fight of All Time: There are many , but the 1978 bout for the WBC Hea_yweight title bout between challenger , Larry Holmes , and defending champion , Ken Norton really stands out in my mind. I was in awe of the pace , and the desire of both boxers. Norton fought his heart out , and this was the beginning of a great championship reign for the legendary , “ Easton Assasin”.

Most Memorable Fight Seen Live: December , 1997 at Madison Square Garden was the sight of my most memorable bout seen li_e. “Prince” Naseem Hamed in_aded New York City in a big way for his American debut against New Yorker Ke_in elley. The British fans packed “The Garden” , three knockdowns each , and a great under card with Kennedy McKinney upsetting “Poison” Junior Jones made it an incredible night !
