On this Day in Fistiana... 1/26/02 Gatti vs. Millett

On this Day in Fistiana…

Arturo Gatti vs. Terron Millett

January 26, 2002

On this day in fistiana, Arturo Gatti reignited his career under new trainer Buddy McGirt with this kayo victory over Terron Millett at the Theater at MSG. This was the mobile, boxing Gatti, not the blood-and-guts warrior that showed up that night to do battle with Millett.

On this Day in Fistiana... 1/26/02 Forrest vs. Mosley 1

On this Day in Fistiana…

Vernon Forrest vs. Sugar Shane Mosley

January 26, 2002

On this day in fistiana, Vernon Forrest repeated his amateur win over Sugar Shane Mosley in his career best performance at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. After a sensational first round, Mosley gets the worst of a clash of heads in round two and then is viciously dropped, twice, and hurt worse than ever before in his career. But bad-ass that Mosley is he hung in there despite one of the worst beatings of his career. The Late Vernon Forrest was in the zone on this night and injected himself into consideration as one of the best in the sport, and added himself to the old styles-make-fights comparison considering his performances with Mosley & Mayorga. Listen closely in round 10, Mosley literally cries out in pain from a Forrest body-shot(1:31 Rd10).

On this Day in Fistiana... 1/24/09 Mosley vs. Margarito

On this Day in Fistiana…

Sugar Shane Mosley vs. Antonio Margarito

January 24, 2009

On this day in fistiana, Sugar Shane Mosley was supposed to be shot and little more than a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter for Antonio Margarito to bludgeon. But it was not to be. Shane Mosley delivered what may have been his career best performance--his second in the Staples Center--as he broke down and beat up Margarito in 9 heated rounds. A lot of folks blame the pre-fight discovery of Margarito's loaded handwraps by Nazim Richardson for the devastating loss, that psychologically shattered after the discovery, Margarito was easy-pickings, but watch round one closely. Mosley folds Margarito in half with a body shot that likely would have finished a lot of guys. That shot set the stage for the beating to come and probably took half the fight out of Antonio in the very first round. You could have spiked gloves on, you're going to be in rough shape after sustaining a first round assault like the one Margarito got on this day in 2009.

On this Day in Fistiana... 1/24/76 Foreman vs. Lyle

On this Day in Fistiana…

George Foreman vs. Ron Lyle

January 24, 1976

It's really only in comic books where we usually see two giant destroyers go at it like this. Think Hulk versus Thor or maybe Thanos versus Apocalypse or The Thing vs. Juggernaut and you are in the realm of Foreman versus Lyle. This is a gold standard for heavyweight brawls. Every hook is a thunderclap, every uppercut a seismic shock.
