Daniel Zaragoza v Hector Acero Sanchez I & II
Posted: 01 Jun 2017, 06:56
An interesting rivalry, on a number of levels:
Zaragoza wins the WBC super bantamweight title for the third and final time
The rematch was his fourth attempt at winning the belt back
And a "revenge" win following the previous fight, a draw with Acero Sanchez
Shows his longevity and determination. He'd been stopped decisively by Tracy Harris Patterson, Patterson would then lose to Acero Sanchez, then Zaragoza beating him on his second try. The man really gained by experience, would never stop trying and being positive.
I've never actually seen this fight. I've seen it on an honourable mention list placing it among the greatest 122-pound title fights of all time. Somehow I find it hard to believe given Zaragoza's awkwardness and the slippery slickness of Acero Sanchez.
For those of you who've seen the rematch, who did you have winning and was it a lot better contest than the more technical first fight?
