Didn't want to start a whole thread, but did anyone else see Ishe Smith's reaction to winning his fight with K9 tonight? So much passion and emotion coming through. Couldn't help but feel good for him and his family.

Also, we can use this thread for all non specific boxing talk.

I didn't see it, but I can understand his emotion, coming out of nowhere at 34 and winning a world title.

First Vegas born fighter to ever win a world title? Who would have thought?

Just watched Tony Thompson's KO of Price. The behind the ear shot is getting up there with the liver punch as one of those dangerous unassuming punches that can end a fight.

Wow! Just watched the replay. That came out of nowhere. Equilibrium was just GONE after that.

Chavez Jr, fines $900,000 and suspended 9 months by the Nevada AC. Suspension is retroactive to the day after the Martinez fight and the 900K is 30% of his purse from the fight.

Wow, he got taxed good!

A little too much for a drug that didn't enhance his performance.
