Just look at Rosendo Alvarez against Jorge Arce. Mark Johnson against Ivan Hernandez. Irene Pacheco against Jhonny Gonzalez. Castillo-Hatton. All old fighters that quit when they started getting hit to the body. Casamayor didn't. The man is a great fighterQuote:

True though... He laid some hellacious shots to win that fight after taking a beating... He's got gas left.
Roy Jones Jr.
vs Richard Hall
vs Vinny Pazienza
vs Virgil Hill
Tyson v Berbick
Pinklon Thomas
Tyrell Biggs
Spinks
Carl Williams
Ruddock 1 + 2
Bruno 2
Etienne
Golota
Saverise
ODLH vs Trinidad
Sure, most boxing experts and fans saw this as a controversial decision but still I think ODLH gave a boxing lesson using a sharp jap, laterl movement, combinations, speed, defense, cutting of the ring, uppercuts, hooks, straights, 1 - 2, body shots, and so on.

Lennox Lewis- Tyson
Lennox Lewis- Holyfield 2
You are right nearly every fight at the end of his career he was getting cut and he certainly did not have the stamina to go more than 3 rounds at a high pace.Quote:
