That was the start of a great run by Sammy Fuentes who went on the win the WBO title.
I remember watching sammy fuentes on ITV the old boxing show they had on late i think he was on same episode of De la hoya vs john john molina after that and shown him defending his wbo belt still got the video!!

I've got the first 2 rounds of the Panayi fight, but taped over the rest of it, much to my annoyance when i noticed this had happened
Well he was undefeated also, but Nicolai Popov wasn't supposed to pose too much for John McDermott - But he sparked John in the 2nd, causing his first defeat.
What happened to Popov. Went on to beat the decent Corrie T Rex Sanders next - but sort of faded away.
