BTW, I've been a boxing fan for years, since the latter days of Ali. I've had an affinity for Canadian and Filipino boxers of course a few of my heroes growing up were Willie DeWitt, Scott Olsen, Shawn O'Sullivan, Dodie Penalosa and Luisito Espinoza. Two facts for ya, DeWitt-Lakusta 1 was the highest attended boxing match in North American that year and Luisito Espinoza was the "original" Golden Boy.
It's too bad that MMA has left boxing in the dust when it comes to popularity, but I find that it will suffer some of the same fate as boxing with its alphabet champions, lack of truly dominant fighters and yes, corruption.
