The first round of the LBA Heavyweight Tournament is in the books and online! The first round bouts were:

#1 Joe Louis v #16 Mike Tyson
#2 George Foreman v #15 Joe Frazier
#3 Riddick Bowe v #14 Gene Tunney
#4 Larry Holmes v #13 Jack Johnson
#5 Jack Dempsey v #12 Jim Jefferies
#6 Muhammed Ali v. #11 Evander Holyfield
#7 Sonny Liston v #10 Rocky Marciano
#8 Max Schmeling v #9 Lennox Lewis

Louis/Tyson, Ali/Holyfield, and Bowe/Tunney are all rematches from the preliminary rounds, with Tunney handing Bowe his only loss in the final prelim. The Liston/Marciano fight was, of course, an exhibition of scientific boxing

...well, maybe not.

See all the results online!

(And now I've got to get my own music for my front page!)
