Who saw this terrific score and what was your score at the time of the stoppage. I had the great Flash Elorde beating the great Sandy Saddler by 3 poits: 116 to 113.

Saddler was coming very strong after the 11th round. You could see that he made lots of ROUGH TACTICS and I have not seen the punch that cut Elorde's eye. Maybe was a headbutt by Saddler...What you guys think of that fight?

I guess I had Elorde winning prior to the stoppage when I saw it. When you look at Saddler's title fights, wins over Pep and Elorde, it looks rather incredible. But he won those fights basically by fouling and roughing up those opponents. But I guess he deserves credit regardless, those are big names.

I think he (Saddler) beat Elorde when he (Saddler) was not in his prime...

Yes, it was one of Saddler's last fights.

Elorde was brilliant that night, but Saddler is just a monster!!!

All that strength in such a sinewy body and when he got leverage on a shot, he could bust through tree trunks.

And then the constant pressure on top of that. There was no breathing room when you fought Saddler.
