Massimo
Angelo-
But, would that make any difference ? You can think of me just as a virtual thing, something that only lives on the Internet when the computer is on. You can think that in the very moment in which you shout your computer down Massimo desappears only to come back
when you switch your PC back on! Or you can think of me as a file that contains some information that you can discover by asking here.
On the other hand, I have never been to USA, so I could think that the USA don't really exist and that they only are an invention by the media. I can imagine that when the Italian TV talks about the USA, it's just a lie invented for some
reason.

But the mystery remains: Is Massimo really in Italy? Is Massimo really Massimo? The thing about the internet is that "Massimo" might be some guy named Gus who lives in Toledo.

Hi Sonia, it's very nice of you to say that, you are a true friend! The same applies to all the other persons on this site.

Hey Massimo, glad you're back, as you can tell you were missed here.

I was worried that Massimo was on that ship in the Mediterranean which was hit by that giant rogue wave that smashed the windows and killed two passengers with shards of glass. I'm glad it wasn't you, Massimo, which doesn't mean I'm glad that it was someone else.
But I don't believe the "I wasn't in the mood" to post rubbish. That sounds like my ex-wife.

Angelo-
Thanks, it's very nice of you to say that!

Okay then! By popular demand, Massimo is back in action at the Jerry Quarry Foundation message board.
Massimo, you were missed.
Massimo
Angelo-
No, I have never had trouble with the police and I never will. I think that it's fair to say that I am a really good guy! I don't think that anybody could deny that! Now, I'm back!

Massimo: The rumor is that you were in jail---arrested for civil disturbance at the Vatican. Now you are trying to cover yourself by saying you weren't in the right mood to post. What's going on over there in Italy? Remember, I have your Dad's e-mail address somewhere----at a moment's notice, I can let him know about your trouble with the police.

However in the Lyle-Bugner fight Ron was considered the underdog as he was in the downhill while Joe was in his prime. So, Joe was expected to win the fight. He actually almost won and gave Ron an extremely close fight. He even managed to stun him for a moment in the ninth round in the process, proving that he had some power.
Massimo
Hi friends, I'm back! Thank you for your concern, I just wasn't in the right mood to post and I took a break. But I am back now.
Bugner had decent power, but he didn't use it often. He had some good performances in his career (for instance against Lyle and Frazier), but in most of his fights he wasn't very active. From what I have read he tried to win against Ali in the first fight (but he couldn't), but
he did very little in the second in Kuala Lampur.

Perhaps Massimo has been arrested and is in jail without access to a computer. I hope not.

I am sure Massimo is fine as I haven't posted either and I am OK.
He is probably just taking a break from posting.
I watched the Lyle/Bugner fight and one thing I can say about Joe B, is he sure could take a punch.
Bugner was quoted as saying that the Lyle fight was that he had felt more beat up after going twelve rounds with Lyle than when he fought Ali and Frazier.

I hope Massimo is okay.

Massimo hasn't posted since February 18. He must be on vacation. Maybe a luxury cruise ship.

I said, IF BUGNER WOULD HAVE THROWN HANDS MORE OFTEN, HE COULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER FACTOR IN THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION. Geez, doesn't anyone listen to me here anymore?
angelo
If Bugner would have "thrown hands" a little more often, he could have been a bigger factor in the division than he was.
Massimo
I have just finished rewatching the Lyle-Bugner fight and Ron won it by very very little. Joe was able to stun Ron in the 9th round with a right hand. Joe was also able to stun Joe Frazier for a moment in their fight. He certainly had some power. Lyle certainly could be stunned even by not huge punchers like his bouts with Bugner and Ali proved. His chin was good, but not Chuvalo-like.
Massimo
Joe Bugner didn't have the power to knock Wladimir out or the level of activity to beat him on points. Ron vs Wladimir, this one would have been interesting. By the way, this is the legendary Lyle vs Bugner fight:

Both Wladimir Klitschko and Joe Bugner are bigger than me. I don't think that either of them would be impressed or intimidated by my size. As for Vitali, he is only 4 cm or so shorter than Lamar Odom.
angelo
In prime Bugner vs. Vladmir K. would be interesting.

Joe Bugner turns 60 next month. I read somewhere that Joe Frazier is flying over to Australia to attend Bugner's birthday party.
Out of all the fighters from that great era, Bugner got out of it best with his health. He is still big, strong, and healthy. Many people bagged Bugner for his lack of aggression, but he was a very skilled boxer who stayed on his feet against some of the biggest monsters in heavyweight history.
Happy birthday, Joe Bugner. All your critics can eat cake.

These is some news about Union Cane:
1984 National Golden Gloves Super heavyweight champion
Named The Ring magazine Prospect of the Year in 1986.
According to Bill Cayton, Union Cane once knocked down Mike Tyson in sparring.
Union Cane was 16-1 at the time of his fight with Douglas.
Cane's best win is a KOT 8 over "Slow" Tillis in 1987. He lost by SD to Tim "Big Bomb" Witherspoon in the same year.
At 6' 4 1/2" Union Cane is taller than me.
