Hill vs. Maske

About the first fight between the two in 1996, the article claimed that Hill beat Maske "decisively". According to http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=3363, the judges decided 116-113, 115-113, 112-116(!) in his favour, which can hardly be called decisive, so I removed that adverb. (In comparison, Maske won the comeback 117-110, 117-110, 116-113.) Also, Maske had announced his subsequent retirement prior to the fight, not in reaction to his defeat.

This article also states that Virgil Hill has retired. He has not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.153.178.58 (talk) 16:55, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
