    I'm not saying that he didn't batter Bowe but just because he tore his rotary cuff - who can do that any number of ways.

      I've always like Etienne. He's always gave value for money (except when getting destroyed by Tyson).

      He'll never be a champ, but watching him in a 10 rounder will always be more entertaining that a John Ruiz title fight.

        What about when he kept getting dropped by those overhand rights in his fight with Fres Oquendo?

          Oh he's no doubt got a dodgy chin...but he kept getting up.

          I never said he was the best, I just said he's entertaining and value for money.

          His fight with Cley Bey was a great scrap.

              You know him? I was just watching a documentary on prison boxing in which he figured prominently. He said some really interesting stuff and seemed like a great guy all around. It was an awesome documentary.

                Yeah, he is a man who turned his life around, I have known him for years and have announced many of his fights...

                  Ettiene is a very good guy. I've met his family and at ringside they are HILARIOUS! (talking to CLifford and his opponent, they don't get too stressed about it which is nice to see)
                  Ettiene despite his recent drawbacks has really been attempting to get on the comeback trail and has stayed focused and active. Skill-wise he's one of the better HW fighters and he has a workman like pressure style which is more and more uncommon these days, but unfortunaly he just can't take a great shot. Still think he could beat Brewster again though and a few other top 20s . . .

                    Cool...I remember one thing he said about prison about how "there are guys in there who could be doctors, guys in there who could be lawyers". Something like that. Anyway, I was thinking about that quote for days afterward. It was really an interesting thing to say.

                    Glad that he turned his life around as can be an example to everyone who thinks they can't do the same.
