15 rounds-118 lbs.

Great fight. I would go with Canizales on a SD. Fenech was an animal at 118 and 122 but Canizales was the better boxer and would throw just as many punches. And he could take a punch

I strongly agreed. I respect that Fenech was great at 118 and 122 lbs, but I also see that Orlando Canizales would outbox the Aussie behind his jabs and long range counterpunches on the outside to take the decision as well.

Prime Cañizales vs prime Jeff Chandler would have been a great fight. Too bad Orlando was just starting out when Chandler’s career was ending
