I'm with you exactly, especially about Izon. I thought everone had forgotten David Izon. I have tapes of his fights that I can't even bear to look at, he's taking horrendous punishment. I saw one dreadful massacre of Izon, and, just a couple of months later there he was again, against (I can't remember) and after being smashed all over the arena for 8 rounds, he finally ko'd the guy. And the tragic denouement was that at the end of the fight, after the interview, he pushed his poor, battered spouting bruised face into the camera, sending a message to his loved ones, repeating over and over.....
""I'm a contender"...."I'm a contender"....
it was pitiful.
I think in his next fight, based on his ability to be nearly killed for 9 rounds and KO the guy in the 10th, he got another fight with some top guy, can't recall who, and was beaten all over the place and stopped, maybe in about 4.
I never saw him again, Thank G.....but I've always kept thinking "the poor guy"...........
