I was at the 3rd fight.
Even though Bowe won - and Holyfield would later conquer Tyson for the heavyweight crown - I think both fighters were a bit past there prime. Still, it was a great fight.
The other major heavyweight championship fight I attended was in Joisey - and wasn't much of a competitive fight - Lewis KO'd Golotta in the 1st round. Still, the Go-Lo fans/hooligans in their white and red face paint with Polish flags draped over themselves made it all worthwhile.
There were a few pretty intense fights in the crowd throughout the night.
I reminded a lot of people of a young Peter McNeely in my boxing days - just without quite as much skill and accuracy.
