    If you liked the boxing video, I recommend checking out Genki Sudo. There's several highlight videos on youtube.

    You could have also added recent footage of the propane fire in Toronto. The explosion was crazy! Enough that some people's home's are a write off.

    I'm a big time boxing fan and Augustus\Burton was the best of the best when it came to trading blows. The showmanship got him into huge trouble and lost him a lot of fights. Which is sad to say the least. Many judges and refs would subtract points for his antics.
    I would say he had the fight of the last century tied up.
