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...

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!!...

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.
I loved that show!
