Man what a great way to kick off the set. I loved Colon working the ear to start. Problem though I was selling watching more than Abby. Though I give Abby some room to wiggle since for some reason I feel he's not human . I also really liked Colon's fire here. Now the crowd was insane and how they got closer and closer. A fight broke out in the crowd. Loved Abby's screams. A good double juice brawl. 3 1/2*

Date is September 26th 1981

I watched it twice, but this was quite boring and didn't work for me. Colon dictating the pace at the beginning was the best part of it, with a focus on Abdullah's ear and some nice punches. Butcher taking control was nothing special but okay, they both started bleeding all over the place really quickly, but the crowd wasn't crazy about it and they seemed more interested with a fight between two fans at ringside. What I disliked the most was the refereeing, there were basically no rules during the match despite DQs being in place. Bad finish, as the ref stops the match for excessive blood and the announcer rightfully wonders why this wasn't done 10 minutes earlier
**1/2
