    In fairness, was taking Buchanan to the cleaners was Duran, and a couple of Rds before Ken was looking for a way out, From my memory remembering His body language.

    Michael Watson against Eubank II. Watson fought at the pace of a featherweight for 11 rounds and almost sacrificed his life when Eubank landed possibly the most beautiful, deperate, perfect and devestaing uppercut I have ever seen.
    Hodkinson fought Marcos Villasana in 2 WBC , feathweight fights , losing the first by stoppage , winning the second on points.

    Yeah the losing one it was heart breaking to watch him trying to see the ref talking to him through his swolen eyes. If I remember right he was badly swolen in the second fight too but not bad enough to stop him winning. Gutsy fighter.

    Yes he was an excellent fighter but he fought Goyo Vargas at his peak and was beaten comprehensively.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
