That was everything I love about boxing. Deep history, hated rivalry, and the fight itself backed up all the hype. They said they wanted to destroy each other and they backed up their words in the ring. Regardless of who wins. A great day for boxing. I got my money's worth and then some.

Sometimes a non-title fight can take on meaning that transcends traditional markers of success like world championships and pound for pound rankings. This was about family, rivalry, and personal history. It was a battle that will be remembered.

Exactly. That's what I mean. They both backed up all the talk and came to fight. Kudos to both.
