Re: Worst PPVs / PPV prices in your country.
Ruiz-Arreola is on PPV..doesnt get much worse than that! 10 years ago Id wanted to see this fight but come on, this should be on ESPN or Showtime! gonna be $50 ain't it?

Re: Who should Ruiz fight after arreola
This fight is at least 5 years too late. And no way should it ever have been on PPV.

Re: Victor Galindez vs Bobby Czyz
Galindez was tougher and stronger than Czyz. On top of that, Galindez was a great distance fighter, getting stronger as the fight progresses. Interesting also is that, at his best, Galindez was a very good defensive boxer. I question if Bobby could land many significant punches against Galindez. Vi...

Re: Classic fights I've watched recently
One thing about the rematch: It was a classic too. People seem to forget how action packed the "sister" was... and Arguello was oh so close to winning it in round two! Pryor was badly hurt! Right. I even have Arguello up by a one round in the rematch, but Pryor up on points because of Arg...

Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello I A great fight, but also a sad one, acknowledging that the classy fighter lost to a cheater.

Re: when did losing become so stigmatized
I think the boxer whose legacy got hurt the most by a loss...well there are two...Wilfredo Gomez who went from being in everyone's top 50 of all time (at least, if not top 25 or 30)to not being included in the top 100 many times because of his loss to Salvador Sanchez (and consequent semi-failures o...

Re: Classic fights I've watched recently
Salvador Sanchez vs Wilfredo Gomez - fcuk me, can never tire of these legends. The heart of Gomez to even get out of the first round was truly ridiculous. Sanchez was so good. I've heard some fans-usually hard-core Sanchez fans-say Gomez had no heart and only got up because he didnt have a choice!!...

Re: Classic fights I've watched recently
Alexis Arguello vs Rafael Limon A bloody slugfest. The fight started with both fighters bringing it on. There were some unintentional head clashes, which caused cuts on Limon's face, all were missed by the referee Tony Perez. The fight was quite even at the start, but gradually Arguello took over. ...

Close and competitive fight. Duran showed flashes of brilliance but he was way past his best.
Sims showed he had heart but not the quality of his brother.
Great show. Hearns and Graham on the bill and the fight before was McGuigan-Cruz.

Alexis Arguello vs Alfredo Escalera I A good bout. Arguello controlled the vast majority of the fight since the 2nd round, when Escalera suffered a flash knockdown. Yet it was a competetive affair. Escalera even began to win rounds later in the fight, but he was cut, the fight was stopped because o...
