In the second round of a defense of his IBF super featherweight world championship, Tony "The Tiger" Lopez felt the elbow of challenger John Molina slam into his eye.

ISBN: 9780810868007 / Angielski / Twarda / 588 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Boxing is one of the oldest sports in the world, reaching back to the Ancient Greeks, although it has become popular only in the past century or so.
