Famachon v Harada I

I'm a proud Aussie living in the USA and I saw this fight in Australia when I was a kid. In my opinion (and in the opinion of many people at ringside) Harada got ripped off. Jonno tried to keep the fight at a distance and outbox him but Harada would not be denied. I don't know what fight Willy Pep was watching that night but it wasn't the fight I witnessed. Anyone else see that fight and have an oipnion?

A long time since I saw the video last. It is not the best of quality, but I remember having Harada winning clearly. If I remember right, the aussie ringside commentators has the fight close. Full marks for Famechon for giving Harada a return fight in Japan. (Also long time since I watched that fight last - It should rain this week-end so maybe?)

Ho yes, Harada was well ripped off in this fight and its a shame because he won clearly (knocked Johnny down 3 times) and the decision robbed him of winning a 3rd world title which would have been some achivement.
