Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
"Chapo" was the real deal. Seeing him dismantle Bramble in that fashion was amazing. This was the same durable guy who had twice beaten Ray Mancini. Yeah, he died way too young... victim of a questionable lifestyle with drug abuse and the like.
At his peak he was incredible, though.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
Did not really register to me that Edwin Rosario was Chapo. I know Tyson trained with him and was in awe of him as he was the first current champion at his stable. This victory over Bramble was spectacular, Rosario was a big puncher. I am a Julio Ceaser Chavez fan and their fight was just brilliant.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
I watched that live in PPV, early was breathtaking as Mayorga was landing well, plus the bravado of letting Trindad hit him flush. I recall it was evenor close to even for 3 or 4 before Trinidad knock him out. Mayorga was such a strange fighter you don't know really how he will punch or able to land , it's so unorthodox

Mayorga has the crazy smoker bad man image which he enjoyed and played up to. Taking those punches from Tito was taking that image too far and nearly got knocked out. Hated the fact Mayorga beat Fernando Vargas.

Re: This day in boxing. A look back.
This fight was not televised because they could not agree the amount with ITV and we missed a classic live.
