pryor was winning quite comfortably in my book even without the drink he always has burst of energy he can fight at frantic pace like that watch 2nd arguello no one really knows about drink or ect all i know is pryor always fought frantic pace in every fight and in my opinion he had arguellos number there is no shame in losing to a great fighter like pryor plus pryor changed his tactic in first arguello fight if u watch documentary he said arguello expected me to keep swinging swinging and pryor said he knew he wouldnt be able to beat him that way and started to box after that can i just ask what your scorecard was after 14 rounds because i felt pryor was winning quite comfortably by about 3 or 2 rounds
The second fight is not the point here,Arguello was coming towards the end there,at a different weight class,after a monstrous war,he was never going to be the same. However,in the first fight, I don't care what anyone says,Arguello was beating Pryor's ass for 3 consecutive rounds before being stopped AFTER pRYOR drank whatever it is he drank. I have NEVER seen someone's (Pryor) next snapped back so far in my life,those were some of the most brutal shots I've seen!
