I liked how in the Legendary Nights: Tale of Hagler-Leonard they were able to get all the judges [minus Guerra who scored it 118-110 (joke score)] to discuss why they scored for a certain fighter. Filippo was very intelligent in his reasoning for scoring the fight the way he did and I can't remember a score of his that I thought was a sign of ineptitude or corruption. We lost a great judge, one of that was out there.
RIP Lou Filippo. This post has been edited by Dynamic Hispanic: Nov 3 2009, 01:35 PM |
