Yep exactly! You are absolutely correct. He hurt him and nearly put him down in the second round but somehow Chavez recovered.

JC Superstar had a thick skull that probably would stop a .25acp round

Never had the pleasure to watch Randall fight as in the early to late 90s as a teenager I was really in to the UK scene with Eubank, Watson, Benn etc and the HW division but I will watch his best fights on youtube tonight sounds like he had a career to be proud of RIP Champ

I remember watching the Randall fight at the house of my older brother's friend. I was fairly young but I realized the significance of what he was able to do against someone with the stature of Chavez.

So long ago, godspeed and rest in peace Champ.

One hell of a fighter. When I first heard his voice, he sounded like a white Hillbilly which was shocking. He did some damage to opponents with that right hand of his over the years.

Damn man, the sport giveth, the sport taketh away.

I was so shocked that they actually gave Chavez's 0 to him after what happened with Pernell.

Dude was a solid vet

Just looked and saw that he kept fighting until 2005.

I hadn't heard of him after the mid '90s or so.

Guys gotta have a back up plan, so they're not fighting into their late 30s and 40s, jeez.

RIP champ.

He didn't achieve more because he had battle against drug addiction also.
