De la Hoya winning against Belfort in 3 weeks would be a better win than 95% of Lopez's wins.

Finito's 9th title defense of his WBC World Strawweight Championship belt was against former IBF king counterpart Manny Melchor of the Philippines.

Melchor must have been one of the worst fighters in boxing history to ever held a world title belt. He came to the ring with a record of 25-19-4 with only 6KO wins. How in the world this Pinoy became a world champion? I don't know. He was completely overmatch against this great champion.

The fight was held on Saturday, September 18, 1993 at the Caesars Tahoe in Stateline, NV. A total mismatch in which one could see the champ's superiority. Hey!, a champion does not have to fight a great fighter every fight. Sometimes you need to fight with easy opponents. That happened to the best of them like the greats Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali and Roberto Duran and others. As champions, they also had easy challengers.

Finito did not lose a round. The fight was all Mexico's! And tge fight ended by knockout of a product of a Finito's left hook. Referee Joe Cortez of Puerto Rico counted to 10 and Finito kept his crown for the 9th time.

Now, Finito at this point, was compared with the elite boxers of his day. A superfight with Jr Flyweight champ Michael Carbajal of Phoenix, AZ was probably in the works.

Finito improves to 36-0, with 26KOs. Melchor kept fighting and retired with a record of 38-35-6 with only 10KOs.?

All of Finito's 9 tiitle defenses so far were against Oriental Far East boxers.

I correct myself. It was a straight right hand by Finito that caused the knockout. Melchor's asset was that he was brave and had courage, will and determination. That's it.

It was a five world championship fight extravaganza created by colorful and flamboyant American promoter Don King on Saturday, May 7, 1994 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. Four of the title fights were rematches. That is why the night was billed as "The Rematches" in which Julio Cesar Chavez versus Frankie Randall was the Main Event. The other fights were Azumah Nelson vs Jesse James Leija, Gerald McClellan vs Julian "The Hawk" Jackson, and "Terrible" Terry Norris vs Simon Brown.

Finito's 10th title defense was against a slick unbeaten Colombian southpaw and future champ named Kermin Guardia.

Guardia's record was 21-0 with 14KOs.

In round 2, Guardia rocked Finito with a fabulous right hook. Finito somehow stayed on his feet. It was not a dramatic fight, but a technical one. Guardia's speed and elusiveness have Finito problems throughout the whole fight.

The crowd attendance was almost empty. Not too many people were at the preliminaries. Finito's title defense was the first of the 5 world title fights of the evening.

In my view, it was a close fight. Guardia should have attacked more and overwhelm the champion. He didn't, although he had his moments. I scored the fight 116-114. In round 11th, Guardia was deducted for a point for headbutts. That maybe in my view cost him to not win the crown from Finito.

But, read this. The judges in the fight had Finito winning by large margins. What fight they were watching? Maybe they were not interested and were bored. Maybe they went to a nearby restaurant to eat. I don't know. Two judges, Carol Castellano and Chuck Williams scored the fight 117-110 for the champion. The other judge, Dave Moretti, had it scored 119-109? Unbelievable! The fight was much more closer than that!

All judges were Americans.

Guardia later won the WBO World Minimum title in 1998. And finished his career with a record of 37-12, with 20KOs.

Finito improves to 37-0, with 26KOs!

A planned fight with Jr flyweight champ Michael Carbajal of Phoenix, AZ still in the works.

Guardia was the first fighter to fight Finito of the 11 title fights that wasn't Oriental or from the Far East.

American flamboyant promoter Don King breaks his preview record of promoting 5 world title fights with a six-fight world title extravaganza on Saturday, September 17, 1994 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV.

As always, Finito is the first champ of the night to defend his crown. I guess that there is no love for the LITTLE MEN in boxing.

His opponent this time is a challenger of only 10 fights named Surachai Songmorakaut of Thailand. It is the 4th Thai boxer that Finito faces and the 11th Oriental Far East fighter overall. Songmorakaut got an undefeated record of 10-0, with 4KOs.

The other 5 title fights of the evening
Julio Cesar Chavez fights Meldrick Taylor for second time for the Main Event of the evening.
Frankie Randall vs Juan Martin Coggi I
Vincent Pettway vs Giovani Parisi
Gabriel Ruelas vs Jesse James Leija
Felix "Tito" Trinidad vs Luis "Yory Boy"

It was an easy payday for Finito. A right cross in the first round and the Thai challenger went down. A jab, right across and a left hook produced the second knockdown. American referee Keith Bayless stops the fight and Finito finished the fight with a record of 38-0 with 27KOs with 11 successful title defenses.

No doubt, though Dixon being black and Canadian might be the worst rationale yet. Pascal Perez is still to. Come.

George Dixon doesn't have nothing to prove. He is s true all-time great pound per pound.

Pascual Perez is another great pound per pound all-time great. He was Argentina's first world champion.
