Fenech beat 2 from the list - Zarate and Zaragoza although Carlos was 36 at the time and nowhere near what he once was. Mildly amusing story re the ending of the fight. Fenech suffered a bad cut thanks to a headbutt which forced the doc to stop the fight. There was some confusion in the ring afterwards and Fenech thought he'd lost on a cuts stoppage. He went up to Zarate and was about to attack him some more. Zarate simply covered up. I don't blame him
The Zaragoza fight - Fenech had won the IBF bantam title about 3 fights beforehand. He was in his second year as a pro and having his 10th fight. He simply bullied Zaragoza and walked through him for the full 10 rounds. A full 10 years after this fight Zaragoza was WBC bantam titleholder
