June used to be a critical month for big fights in New York in the age of radio because it was one of the best times to use the baseball stadiums. Joe Louis-Max Schmeling II, Louis-Billy Conn I and II, and Louis-Jersey Joe Walcott II are just some of the more prominent examples...

                Ioka is way bigger than Palicte. Not sure how Nietes will react to that.

                Nietes was gun shy in the first half against Palicte and was sorta intimidated by Palicte's size.


                Ioka is bigger than Palicte from the photos I've seen in Superfly 3.

                  Japan always has sick cards at the end of the year--showing everyone else how it should be done.
