OK enough sarcasim.....Point is Hector was a top prospect and hopes for him were high...as with many weigh in's and pre fight hoopla and trash talk bad blood was built....Camacho took it too far and punished the fighter in the ring....And again I stress it was a very capable fighter at the time.....instaed of finishing it like a true warrior and letting things be...Camacho decided he wanted revenge so everytime he had the guy where he wanted him he would let up enough to let the guy gain some compsure and recoup between rds....This was something that had no bearing on looking good for the crowd or showboating it was pure intent...
When all was over the man was never the same again and to this day suffers from the beating Camacho gave him....This was a time when fights did not get stopped like they did now a days...There was no there will always be a tommorow safety first policy....
After seing what he had done Hector never went after an opponent like he did that night again...and that version of Hector Camacho was not the one most people know today...There was a time Hector not only was fast as lightning but liked to go at it... He was not a run around the ring type guy....
Here is a hint...look up Camacho's record on boxrec...take notice on when his KO and TKO's stopped coming on a regular basis
Who ever can figure it out and post a link to the fight or at least a clip...will get CC's on me for two weeks straight......The come talk to me about Hector Camacho and Flod Mayweather going toe to toe with him during his prime
