The two best Korean light flies ever. Chang by decision for me.

Much as I like Yuh, Chang was on another level as far as talent. Maybe on one of his off nights (which he was prone to) Yuh could've nicked a decision.

Am with you. Chang was just an all-around better fighter.

Myung Woo Yuh was faster and had better stamina. But Jung Koo Chang had the best punch and was stronger. I don't know who will win, but the two of them should be in the Hall of Fame

Chang mostly fought 12 round fights v. Yuh, who fought many more 15 rounders. Chang slowed against Zapata in their first fight (which I still think he won), but I believe he had a foot problem. He wasn't a fader in fights.

I don't think Yuh was faster, at all. Chang was quicker and more explosive with both his feet and his hands IMO.

I think Yuh would pick up some rounds when Chang's workrate slackened but Changh has got a bit too much of everything for him.

As a side note. Does anyone know what happened to boxing in South Korea ? In the 70's-80's-90's they had quite a few good fighters, but in the 21st century they appear to have gone downhill considerably.
