When was the last heavyweight boxing match shown live on network TV? 1980?

That sounds about right.

I think the last one I saw was Scott Ledoux kicking Howard Cosells wig off live on Wide World of Sports.

If Fedor could avoid the large hammer fist of Lesnar, I think he could submit Brock - it would be a good fight. I don’t think the Russian will have much trouble with Rogers, but you never know.

He had to be, "The Neighborhood was a dangerous place. I believe Fred trained out of McFeelys Dojo.

I’m still holding out hope this fight could still happen in a year or 2. A few days ago Fedor said this fight would definitely happen, so who knows?
