Fight of the day

2007: Manny Pacquiao W 12 Marco Antonio Barrera 2 (in English)



1899: Kid McCoy D 8 Joe Choynski, Chicago.

“Both men had agreed to a draw in case they were on their feet at the end of the sixth round and that was the result, as both were on their feet and comparatively fresh. McCoy, however, clearly out-classed the Californian an scored the only knockdown, putting Joe to the ropes with a left hook to the mouth in the third round.”

Kittikasem was a good fighter he was on mainstream TV over here so became a fan.

Did not realise Quiroga fought in Italy.

Was that the fight where Monzon finished Benvenuti with that monster of a right hand?

Was that the fight where Monzon finished Benvenuti with that monster of a right hand?

Yes the first fight. Walked him into the corner and nailed him but he hurt him several seconds earlier. Just FF to about 49:30. If you ask me Monzon looks sloppy in this fight and easily hit.

[Bill Paxtom]

Carlos Monzon

Was not a refined boxer, he was a 'tough-bastard' Argentinian/Indian Street Fighter.

Carlos Monzon >

"I don't get paid to fight pretty."

I've never been a big believer in the whole Monzon thing, but that right hand came out of the sky like the Hammer of God. Monster punch.

Me either but that was indeed a brutal punch. Must have been tough being Locche in those days.
