    I watched this religiously during the 80's. Duran, Leonard, Hearns, Randall "Tex" Cobb, etc. It was good for being rigged even though everyone knew it, even back then.

    I hated Howard Cosell but would put up with him during these matches.

    Once they lost Floyd and Canelo it was only a matter of time for them to close up shop.

    They did a great job over the years bringing us fights.

    I loved when Lampley would get on his high horse being critical of fighter's behavior outside ring yet he was arrested for battery and harassment of a former gf.
