person is. Douglas seems quite content with his life today while Tyson lives in
constant chaos. The Holmes-Patterson fight, Holmes KO's Floyd in 6 rounds.
Greg Page out boxes Ringo to win in 12 and Snipes over Mildenberger, 9 th round
TKO. Shavers KOed Norton in 58 seconds. |

Holmes and Snipes move on. Holmes wins via 9th round TKO after delivering about
20 unanswered punches. Snipes wins a tough one, and Page eeks out a decision in
a surprisingly tough fight. By the way, in response to Kent "the better man
won" is only figurative, not a literal description. Just meaning that on a
particular day/night, the better athlete wins---the guy who was better that
particular moment. Also, yes, I have the video of Shavers over Norton. It was
a weird thing to watch. Cosell comments that "whatever Norton is doing, it
isn't working" as Norton is getting tagged with bombs. Then, Shavers steps it
up even further, and blasts Norton out. I don't have the Young-Norton fight on
video. My recollection is that I had Young winning narrowly---but I could see
how the fight would be scored for Norton too. I thought that Young fought his
fight and made Norton look awkward---Norton couldn't force Young to fight his
fight. It was very similar to Young vs. Ali. Both times, the judges went for
the better known name fighter and Young was ruled the loser. |

where quality of life is concerned. Tyson wishes he had half the mellow Buster
does... I guess I missed part of the tournament, but I have no real prob with
the outcome of the last set of matches. Floyd could not reach Holmes, but would
chase him anyway until he got KO'd, about round 7, Page would be bothered early
with Oscar's Ruiz-type brawling tactics before pounding him in the late rounds
on way to a lop-sided discision. Talk about wasted talent : Greg Page.
Mildenberger may not have gotten enough credit from you guys. His fight with the
inconsistent Snipes would likely be very close, he went a good full 15 with no
less than Ali and always came ready. He would likely take rounds from Snipes
before losing by late KO... I know it's not boxing, but I wanted to mention how
impressed I am with baseball pitcher Randy Johnson right now, about as good a
pitcher as I've ever seen. Thanks.|

after I posted yesterday I realized why I was confused about Bigfoot vs.
Douglas. Martin never fought Buster Douglas; Martin decked Michael Moorer in
the first round and dropped a 10 round decision to Moorer. I guess I related
Douglas with Moorer, one more guy whose inner demons overcame his incredible
natural talent. Oh yeah, one of the announcers covering that fight said the
nickname "Bigfoot" was given to Martin when he was a kid because he was always
sticking his foot in his mouth during conversations. His actual shoe size was 9
1/2 to Moorer's 13.|
|6/30/04 07:34:56 AM|Evren|London||@||||10|Mildenberger would be too sharp and
crafty for Snipes and win a decision. Patterson would be too quick against
Holmes and capture a split decision in a shock. Greg Page cannot cope with
Bonavena's bullish tactics and drops a decision or late round stoppage to the
Argentine.|

stand corrected on Karl Mildenberger's fight with Ali. But my point was, he was
a lot better than some give him credit for. Snipes nearly beat Holmes, then lost
