About the Bouts

With the recent announcement of the Briggs-Ibragimov WBO heavyweight bout at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City (in June), as well as the upcoming Holt-Arnaoutis fight (April 20, Bally's) and the Tarver-Muriqi fight (April 22, Boardwalk Hall), the latter of which is to be the first time in several years that ABC will broadcast a live boxing match, one could say that Atlantic City is really stepping back into the ring as far as bringing in big-time boxing events.
Speaking of big-time boxing events - Arturo "Thunder" Gatti will fight somebody July 14 at Boardwalk Hall.
In the meantime, here's one of many classic A.C. matches that can be found on YouTube. A first-round KO by 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler against Philly native William 'Caveman' Lee 25 years ago at Bally's Park Place.
