Aaron Pryor v Alexis Arguello 2

[ICB]

Just watched the fight for the first time. That was a brutal fight, cannot believe the stamina and punch resistance of both men, first round was a war. Emanuel Steward was in Pryor's corner this time. That was a great fight. What are people memories of that fight?

I remember Alexis Arguello taking a beating, the 1st round was like Hagler/Hearns. But apart from that it was quite one sided although Alexis Arguello had his moments. The way he went down in the 10th round was one of the things that stood out in my mind. He just sat there and got counted out realizing he just couldn't beat this animal, a bit like John Mugabi vs Marvin Hagler.

Sadly this is my memory as well.

After two savage great fights with the Hawk , i think Alexis just had enough , he knew he was just too small , he threw the kitchen sink at the Hawk to little affect , but WOW what two great fighta . Hatton would be blown away against Pryor within 8 rounds .

AA was cheated out of a 4th title...
That is all.

The commentary in fight 2 says it all, " Pryor has the most stamina i have ever seen, where does he get it from I'll never know" mmm?

The jury is still out on Aaron Pryor, he gets hit far to often and i don't think he beats Whitaker or Mayweather and gets nailed by Tszyu and Pacquaio.

Or Morales being counted out against Pacquaio in their 3rd fight.
