Moorer v Jirov Rerun
Prior to the Hatton/Tszyu fight, I watched a re-broadcast of the Michael Moorer v Vasily Jirov fight from November of last year. Jirov was well ahead on the cards when Moorer took control in the ninth round, taking control of the tempo and then putting him down with a hard left hand. Jirov jumped up immediately, which is always stupid. If he'd taken a knee, took the eight-count, and then gotten up, he might've been able to continue. Moorer's career, which was derailed with his 1994 KO at the hands of "Old George" Forman, was resurrected with this fight, though what he'll do with this second chance remains to be seen.

I saw that fight as well. I have more faith in a Riddick Bowe comeback than one for Michael Moorer, although that's not saying much either.
Bowe is hoping to be fighting in Memphis, soon. I haven't seen word that his license was approved, though.
I saw one of his fights offa kazaa download, and it looked pitiful. He was incredibly out of shape and s-l-o-w.
Yes. The only thing he has going is he is B-I-G.
