Does this fight build-up feel like Holmes-Cooney?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

This fight buildup is uglier than any that I have seen in a long time.

[Azteca]

Dude! I've been saying this **** all week. You are very perceptive indeed. We all know what that consisted of too.

[bewitched]

even better than holifield/tyson2?

[Feint]

I don't know, Holmes-Cooney was an entirely different animal in my opinion. I don’t think this fight (or any fight) can ever match the level of racism involved in that one.

Why is it so ugly? I dont get that impresson.

Holmes' victory over Cooney is comparable to OJ getting an Innocent verdict (though the differences there are apparent as well).

There are a great many parralells but Homes vs Cooney was worse IMO. How the hell did they have the then undisputed champion come in first?
